Dr. Kara McGann:

My understanding is that there are quotas for permits in that sector which come with specific conditions to make sure it is meeting some of these challenges. In the case of a knifeman, for example, there is a particular permit around training. With the general operative permits, it is around English language training and assistance, along with sourcing accommodation, if desired, and so on. Work is being done to address these issues.

It is a matter of striking a balance in terms of trying to look at what we need to put in place. It is also being supportive of inspections, announced or not, with the Health and Safety Authority and the Workplace Relations Commission.
