I am lobbied all the time about work permits and the delays included in that process. One of the requirements in order to get a work permit for non-EEA workers is that their annual remuneration must be at least €30,000 per year. I appreciate that depends on the number of hours we are talking about. How can Mr. Hynes reconcile the fact that the legal requirement to qualify for a work permit is that the payment must be at least €30,000 per year with the claim that people are being paid less than €10 per hour? I am curious about that.
