The HSE has apologised to 15 agency contact-tracing staff employed through recruitment agency CPL who experienced a delay in payment of up to six weeks.
Last night, CPL confirmed that it was investigating the claims raised in the Dáil yesterday by Solidarity People Before Profit TD Richard Boyd Barrett.
The HSE has also acknowledged the problem for the workers, saying: "The HSE apologises to those affected and continues to work closely with CPL to ensure this does not occur again in the future".
In yesterday's address to the Dáil, Richard Boyd Barrett raised the situation of 15 contact tracers assigned by CPL to work for the HSE at the contact tracing centre in UCD in Dublin.
