I recognise the work and support the Department gave in the context of the intra-company transfer employment permit situation, whereby spouses are now able to work. The decision was made by the Department of Justice eventually but I know the Department of enterprise was very supportive of it, and I mark that now. It means that spouses and partners of people who transfer here from abroad with certain skills can now work from day one. Until very recently, we were one of the few advanced countries that did not allow that. Is the Minister getting any feedback on that change? I know it is very recent, but has he received any feedback from business and industry since it happened?
