Okay. I will explain the reason I ask. This is anecdotal. I am not a dentist and have no training or expertise in any of this. When the war in Ukraine was kicking off and we had many Ukrainians arriving in our country, I recall a Ukrainian-qualified dentist making contact with my office. She said she had identical qualifications that could have worked in Ireland but she felt that numerous barriers were being put in her way, including by QQI and the HSE. She also felt that the dental representative bodies were putting a lot of barriers in her way that made it tricky for her to be a practising dentist. Will the witnesses comment on that?

Are we doing enough to encourage people overseas who have this qualification to come to Ireland vis-à-visthe D visa?
