Employment Permits Bill 2003: Second Stage.
I must express the concerns of many people, however, that we are being perhaps too generous in the provision of open access to a small economy for the thousands who may come in. We do not know how many will come. Will the floodgates be opened? Wexford – the whole south-east – will be one of the first places they will come to and we will have no opportunity of saying, "Stop". If they are here already, we cannot retrospectively restrict them.
