In terms of an effective barrier to work outside the legislative issues, an example was given of the Garda National Immigration Bureau, GNIB, card, which I understand the witnesses said is not a legal form of identification having regard to what is printed on that card. What is best way around that? Should the GNIB card be made a formal form of identification, or are there other forms of identification that could easier be made available to people who might be seeking employment. What is the best way around that?
