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

Dr. Kara McGann:

Housing absolutely is a particular challenge in this country. Addressing those concerns has been built into the system, in particular for people coming into the country with certain permits. If we take, for example, the pilot system with the meat industry, one of the conditions of the relevant permit was that assistance would be given to workers in sourcing accommodation. Housing is an ongoing issue that needs to be examined.
