I welcome the delegations from the LVA and the VFI. I thank them for their efforts and their opening statements on the issue of skills shortages in the tourism and hospitality sector.

My first questions concern ways to attract international workers to Ireland as part of the solution to the skills shortage. What type of multifaceted approach is used to recruit local and international talent? What measures have the members of both organisations taken and are taking in that regard?
