Mr. Niall McCormack:

We grow about 60 tonnes of strawberries and 3 tonnes of raspberries. We sell a lot to the west of Ireland and the midlands. Labour is our big problem. There is no fit-for-purpose work-permit scheme for horticulture in Ireland where there is all across the rest of the EU. The EU has become better off and even eastern European countries are quite well off so it is hard to get workers from there. We are calling for a fit-for-purpose work-permit scheme for horticulture. Am I correct in saying it is at the last stage through the Dáil?
