- Work Permits. (24 Feb 2009)
Denis Naughten: Why have the work permit and green card schemes not been reviewed since 2006? Although we have had a dramatic shift in economic circumstances we are only now reviewing the conditions for those schemes. While I accept that the number of work permits issued over the last seven months has decreased â a figure of 1,100 is significantly down on the previous period â the issue is not only the...
- Work Permits. (24 Feb 2009)
Denis Naughten: Is it the case that the fees established for employment permits have not been reviewed since January 2007? While employment permit holders make up 1.5% of the labour force, they make up 3% on the live register, or 10,000 people, resulting in a loss to the economy on an annual basis of approximately â¬200 million. Would it not make sense to waive the fee for migrants who are resident here...

- FÁS Training Programmes. (24 Feb 2009)
Denis Naughten: Perhaps the Tánaiste will let us know when that will happen. Is she ruling out getting involved in providing work through these schemes? Is that out of the question? I just want to know so that I will stop asking. Is it "yes" or "no"? If the Tánaiste decides at the Ard-Fheis to allow people to go back to work while keeping their dole payment, will any such scheme also be open to local...
