I was just flagging up that IBEC itself had raised the fact that the legislation does not make provision for low-skilled workers. It is an ongoing, continuous shortage. Do we need to have a conversation about low pay in the State rather than lobbying for permits to bring workers in? Is that the conversation we need to have?
