It is basically pointless to try to help abused migrant workers one by one, especially when they have left the job, though fair play to you for trying. I believe that you might consider publicising these cases, especially to customers of the employers, as a quicker way to get them some compensation. The industrial relations machinery is a relic of an age when there was some internal pressure within the employer class to keep a lid on exploitation.
What CAN work for migrants is solid patient union organising - migrant to migrant and native to native. Not much comfort for these two brothers, I know.
I'd recommend that you contact the Limerick Citizens Information Centre, 54 Catherine Street
Limerick City-Tel: +353 61 311 444. They have an advocacy worker in place who can assist you with this query. Referring such cases to mainstream organisations is important so that the wider policy issues can be picked up. and the imemdiate issue can be dealt with. My own experience of reporting issues to the HSA is that they only investigate when their is a loss of limb/life. In terms of the Labour Relations Commission, this is an effective mechanism with which to address specific work related issues and is usually heard within a few months. Ultimately though the only sanction for an employer here is monetary. In my own experince all cases were resolved and the complainant received monetary compensation. SIPTU has been very active in supporting workers rights and on their website www.siptu.ie they have information available in a range of languages which makes their service accessible to all users.
In answer to the query from Limerick. Can I suggest that you contact the Migrants Rights Centre, Parnell Square, Dublin telephone 01.8897570 and email at info@mcri.ie

I'll check those all out.
The MRCI is a fantastic organisation doing groundbreaking work in the area of seeking redress for migrant workers experiencing exploitation amongst other issues. However, it is really important that where there is a regional service available e.g. advocacy worker at CIC, Limerick that they are used. The MRCI is overburdened and needs to be able to refer regional issues to regional organisations where there is a service. This also allows the regional organisations to develop and build on their expertise. In the Limerick area, Doras Luimni are also beginning to develop a local response to migrant worker issues.
these employers that are mentioned above have alawys been around native or migrant it doesnt matter and it will continue unless we have a volinter group with no polictical or union interests and that are willing to stand up to this exploytation
