Darragh O'Brien (FF), Dublin Fingal

It is certainly something I can raise with the Minister for Justice. This has been discussed at Cabinet and Government level and among our parties to make sure we have a fair system for people who come to the country. We issue approximately 60,000 work permits a year for people who choose this country as a place to live. One would not believe this is the case from listening to the previous speaker. Many thousands of people do. Many thousands of Irish people come back here. Many people from other countries want to come and live here.
