============================================================

Michael McGrath (FF), Cork South-Central

The Deputy makes a very good point about how vital a role is played by people who come to our country to provide healthcare facilities. They include doctors, nurses and other allied health professionals. I am aware of the issue raised by the Deputy because it has come to me at a constituency level and I have followed up on certain cases. We are following up on a policy level with the Department of Justice. There are established rules and procedures regarding allowing family members to come here to join somebody who holds a visa, but we will make sure the system is fair and efficient and I will relay to the Minister for Justice the points made by the Deputy.
