"This policy brief examines the impact of recent immigration on employment conditions in two sectors, namely, construction and hospitality, in Ireland.The paper shows that immigration made it easier for employers to pursue social dumping practices, thereby contributing to the informalisation and casualisation of work in these sectors. The author concludes with some policy recommendations. "
