EU Talent Pool: Motion
Dail Éireann — 2024-02-28
============================================================

Neale Richmond (FG), Dublin Rathdown

No. These are important points the Deputy's party will never mention. It is trying to make out that everyone is leaving and that this is why everyone is leaving, when it is simply not the case. Ultimately, I do hope Sinn Féin will be supportive of this proposal. I answered the two questions posed in this regard, and I said we hope to bring the memo to Cabinet by the end of March. I hope, therefore, that Sinn Féin will support this proposal and will continue to support a robust, fair and progressive immigration system, one that will consistently see people want to come here because this is a great country in which to live and work. There is no point running it down with false statistics when they cannot be backed up. Go raibh maith agat.
