Employment Permits Bill 2003: Second Stage.
The Minister of State has said that more comprehensive legislation is on the way regarding employment permits in general for people from outside the EU. I hope there is no delay in this because the two areas in which I am involved in employment are the university and medical sectors. Delays in getting employment permits in these areas are appalling and it is our loss when, for example, doctors and lecturers in foreign languages have their work permits delayed. I hope this promised legislation will be brought in very shortly.
