Employment Permits Bill 2022: Second Stage (Resumed)
Dail Éireann — 2022-10-12
============================================================

Verona Murphy (IND), Wexford

Regardless of whether I wrote to the Minister of State, the situation has not changed. It is a ridiculous scenario. Inevitably, this nurse had to give up the job in Wexford. There was no job available to her that she could reach by means of public transport in Offaly, which is a sad state of affairs. We are not prepared to accommodate those who are here but we are prepared to give work permits to those who are not here. The system is not working. I ask that we concentrate on making jobs and permits available and assisting those who are here.
