Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Atypical Work Permit Scheme: Discussion (Resumed)

2:00 pm

Mr. Martin O'Halloran:

It is probably fair to say we have not succeeded in cultivating a good working relationship with the MSO. We have striven to do so repeatedly over a period of approximately ten years. We have engaged in bilateral discussions and, as recently as 2015, when there was a public consultation with the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport on marine strategy, we made proposals once again. We have had, shall I say, a number of unanswered mails, so we have not succeeded. That is just the straight answer. I will ask Mr. Higgisson to address the issue of resistance. We have had some issues in that regard.
