Tony Killeen: I move amendment No. 27: In page 7, line 27, to delete ""first person"" and substitute "'first person'".

- Employment Permits Bill 2005: Report Stage. (5 Apr 2006)
Tony Killeen: This important point was raised by Deputy Howlin on Committee Stage but it is covered in the Bill. Deputy Howlin was concerned that an employment agency may be an applicant for a work permit. This, however, does not arise because section 1(2) and (3) expressly prohibit an employment agency from applying for an employment permit in respect of a person who would be employed to provide a service...

Tony Killeen: I certainly understand the background against which Deputies Howlin and Morgan have argued these points. I am not disposed to accepting the amendment, however, because in practical terms it is much easier â and more likely to be successful â to have the employer advertise the job, find the employee and make the application. The safeguard provided addresses their concerns in that the...

Tony Killeen: Ultimately, the judgment I am making concerns what the most efficient system is. There is a considerable amount of paperwork involved in making an application for a work permit and clearly there are huge advantages for the Department in knowing who the employer is and having that paperwork in as well as the employee's. On balance it seems more sensible and more workable in the vast majority...

Tony Killeen: The impact of accepting any of these amendments would ultimately be to change the system which is being applied under this legislation. As the Minister has proposed, the work permit application is made on a vacancy-based system. The import of what Deputy Hogan has said would change that, to some extent, towards being a quota-based or points-based system. It would thus lose the major...
