Employment Permits Bill 2005: Second Stage (Resumed).
1:00 pm
Damien English (Meath, Fine Gael)
The Minister should not get excited. I was just wondering what we had done to prevent it from happening. We can come back to that matter.
What would happen to any Coca-Cola employees who might have work permits? What will change when this legislation is enacted? If their jobs go after six months the permit will still be tied to the employer and they would need to leave the country to reapply. Those matters need to be clarified. The Minister should not shake his head; I am entitled to ask questions. The answers are not contained in the Bill.
