Ms Clare Dunne:

I take the Senator's point. It is certainly something we can explore. People who bring people in on work permits pay €1,000 per work permit. If they could get them locally relatively easily they would tend to do that. Sometimes if they have to pay more to somebody on a work permit they may not always pay the same salary to somebody they are employing locally. That can cause problems. That is the way it is. Those are the conditions we have set out.
