Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

General Scheme of the Employment Permits (Consolidation and Amendment) Bill 2019 (Resumed): Discussion

Dr. Kara McGann:

I thank Deputy Troy for those comments. It is something we raised both at the review and in different submissions and conversations. We will absolutely go back to members to bring the point up again. One sector in particular is the home care sector. It is trying to meet the needs and demands of the strategy in terms of the approach to try to keep people in their homes longer and out of other health systems. However, it is struggling to meet those needs. That is one example of a sector that will be hit by this particular issue. It is something those in the sector are vocal on and we will certainly bring that point back and ensure it is continued.
