With regard to Senator Leyden's comments, the ethos of the European Union is geared towards the free movement of goods, services and people. I do not subscribe to the argument that we should set the number of work permits at the number of job opportunities. With a liberal regime in place in respect of work permits in recent years, a total of only 13,754 nationals from the accession countries were granted work permits and, of those, the vast majority came from Latvia and Lithuania – 3,958 and 3,816, respectively. Therefore, there is no reason to believe large numbers will come here.
