Mr. Neil Bruton:

Yes, we have indeed. As part of the committee looking at the Employment Permits Bill which is currently going through the Dáil, we made a strong request for change of employer to be introduced as part of that Bill. A commitment on Committee Stage was given by the former Minister of State, Deputy English. A commitment was made at that point to introduce an amendment that would look at being able to transfer employers, that is, a change of employer amendment. We are eagerly anticipating seeing that amendment on Report Stage and seeing the details to make sure it is a real, simple, flexible way for people to change employer.
