Mr. Brian Rushe:

I have. This would be outside the EU. The mushroom sector needs approximately 200 workers because harvesting mushrooms is continuous and happens all year round. The fruit and vegetable sector needs short-term work permits covering six to nine months. There must be a reasonably priced and workable system. It must be practical. At the moment, if a horticultural enterprise looks for a work permit for a worker, it cannot get it.
