Work Permits
Dail Éireann — 2023-11-23
============================================================

Catherine Connolly (IND), Galway West

I appreciate that, because the uncertainty is very unhelpful to people on the ground. We have all received representations about dental nurses, carpenters and a whole range of occupations. Obviously, we all want people to be employed from within the country but with the skills shortage and until we deal properly with apprenticeships and people coming forward, we need something in the meantime. I appreciate it.
I will not labour the point. I will take the Minister of State at his word that he will have this for the weekend and it will be published and available for everyone to see within the next two weeks.
