Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Deputy Boyd Barrett referred to wasted talent. The people for whom I feel sorry are those who leave this island because they have no hope and do not know what to do. One issue being addressed during our Presidency is that of recognition of professional qualifications. Far from people having to resort to emigrate to the far end of Australia or Canada and so on, there are opportunities closer to home in the context of their being European citizens. That is an issue we need to look at.
