Is Dr. McGann saying that in order to enter healthcare assistant roles, workers should have a lower skills requirement than is currently the case? I appreciate what she is saying about grandfathering and that people already in the sector should be skilled up. We are talking about the entry of workers from outside the European Union into employment in Ireland. Should there be a skills requirement for them to come into the care sector or not?
