‘The owner just disappeared without paying me my earnings': Unregulated delivery riders face exploitation
Have you ever noticed that when ordering food for delivery on an app such as Deliveroo, the rider who delivers your food does not always match the photograph, or name, or gender, of the rider the app told you would be coming? If you have, you are not alone. Many food delivery couriers in Ireland's cities are living here on 'stamp two' visas, which means they cannot work legally for the big delivery companies. Instead they rent accounts from individuals who can legally register as self-employed. These accounts can cost riders anywhere between €50 and €150 a week.
