Food delivery giant says flexibility is a ‘pull factor’ for international students as labour rights campaigner calls out ‘doublespeak’
, said: “It is increasingly clear that the law prohibiting Stamp 2 visa holders from being self-employed has presented a significant challenge for international students who would like to support their studies by earning income.”
“Deliveroo has previously suggested that the Irish Government consider amendments to the law to ensure it keeps up with the changing nature of work – preventing any abuse of the current system and enabling more people to benefit from the type of flexible, self-employed work we offer,” the spokesperson said.The company has said that allowing Stamp 2 visa holders work as self-employed would prevent them from being exploited due to their inability to access other forms of employment.
Records released by the Department of Enterprise also show the company met Mr Varadkar and then minister of stateto lobby for changes to the proposed European Union directive on digital labour platforms.
