Colm Brophy (Dublin South West, Fine Gael)

It is important to acknowledge the incredible contribution of so many migrant workers in our country in many of the jobs on which we rely in health service areas, a wide range of public services and in the private sector. People come here, work and make an incredible contribution, which we acknowledge. However, we also acknowledge, without prejudging the outcome of the review, the importance of making sure we have a sustainable system for family reunification. Part of that sustainable system is the importance of someone joining them being supported and having criteria and standards in place. The review will published and I hope I can come back to the Deputy with additional information.
