I thank everyone for their replies. I know of a woman from Brazil who has a degree from the midwestern state university of São Paulo who can only work here after she successfully completes a course that gives her a Quality and Qualifications Ireland accreditation even though she is qualified. How can we make it easier for qualified people from abroad to work here because many of these aspiring workers do not have €1,500 or €1,600 to pay for a QQI course? Can the State intervene and help these workers join the public health system? I am sure that there are many more people like this woman in a similar situation.
