James Bannon (Longford-Westmeath, Fine Gael)

I wish to seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national and local importance, namely the threat to employment levels posed by the failure of the Government to enforce regulations which permit the employment of workers from non-EU countries only when Irish staff are not available, leading to thousands of non-specialist jobs going to imported workers, despite there being approximately 450,000 people on the live register.
