Consideration of Public Petition on Adding Chefs to the Critical Skills List Now to Save Irish Hospitality: Discussion
Mr. Paddy Lynn:
It is a little archaic to use third level as a measure of people's prowess generally, but I understand the reasoning behind it. As I said, 60% of the chefs we are bringing in have third level education, but that is beside the point because 40% of them cannot come in unless they have it, if they are added to the critical skills. It is the legislative change that needs to be made to add them to the critical skills list. It is just removing that wording.
