Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

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

Mr. Cormac Healy:

I would like to share some of the response. In terms of the effort that has been undertaken by our members over the years, we have worked closely for many years with them on labour availability. Significant effort is put into prioritising recruitment in Ireland and the EEA, as we have said in our opening statement. Over the years we have worked with the Department of Social Protection, in particular, to mine the live register. All of that work continues to be done. Each and every employer is engaged with the local employment and social welfare offices as well.
