Fruit distribution company Keelings has declined to confirm whether 189 Bulgarian workers flown in last week to pick this year's harvest are housed in single rooms while they are undergoing "restricted movement" before commencing work.
The company confirmed that all 189 workers flew in on one charter flight operated by Ryanair, but said that Ryanair could confirm that all regulations were adhered to.
Keelings, which requires 900 seasonal workers each year, also revealed that an additional 390 seasonal workers commenced work with Keelings earlier this year, arriving on commercial flights, and following all guidelines in place at that time.
