I thank our guests for presenting their evidence. I will ask a couple of questions. EEA students have the ability to work at any time of the day or night while in Ireland in order to support their studies, but students from outside the EEA are restricted to morning or afternoon work. While the witnesses are not the ones who decide this, what are their views on the matter? Should students from outside the EEA not be able to work in the evening or study in the evening and work during the day?
