Is there a migration path in those other jurisdictions? Is there a transferral path? I am basing my questions on my own situation, because I am not too au faitwith this. A worker in my situation could work for several years on a sponsorship visa. My visa allowed me to apply for different roles. I qualified on one strand of the visa and the company qualified on another. If I wanted to change company, only the new company had to apply. I had already qualified for four years. The other strand had to be applied for every time to allow people to move.Are parameters in place to make this process as easy as that? I had the choice of whether I wanted to apply for permanent residency, or down the road, citizenship. All those parameters were in place. Has experience in other countries shown that these people stay? Is it being proposed for Ireland, or is it still just-----
