The Government is to review employment law concerning workers in the so-called gig economy

It follows a meeting between Tánaiste and Minister for Trade Leo Varadkar with Deliveroo riders who were accompanied by union representatives and immigration groups.

SIPTU are now representing the Deliveroo riders with divisional organiser Teresa Hannick saying that previously many had been reluctant to come forward. He also complained that the minimum hourly rate for the riders has been reduced from €4.25 to €2.90 an hour. The company said the 1,000 riders in Ireland earn above the minimum wage and around €13 an hour during mealtimes.
