The Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation deals with job permits only. It is the remit of the Department of Justice and Equality to deal with regulation of non-nationals, visas, citizenships and residency and this is a matter for the Minister, Deputy Fitzgerald or the Minister of State, Deputy Stanton to address. As Deputy Collins knows, we only issue permits where there is a skills shortage and that is currently being done in some areas.

I can deal with issues on the Workplace Relations Commission, inspections and so on.

Deputy Collins spoke about emigrants and migrants.
