Committee on Public Petitions
Consideration of Public Petition on Adding Chefs to the Critical Skills List Now to Save Irish Hospitality: Discussion
Mr. Paddy Lynn:
They are not called cooks here. We look down on the word "cook" for whatever reason I do not know.
It is not my area of expertise. As the Chair knows, legislation is clear, tight and crisp, so adjustments need to be made. The wording in some of the legislation relating to the issue is wrong. Coaxing in that regard could address some inadequacies in the process.
