It is only in recent times that we were lamenting that we did not have enough people in the workforce. I recall the Tánaiste, Deputy Harney, saying we needed approximately 100,000 additional employees. We had to go as far as the Philippines when there was a scarcity of nurses. I once worked in the Central Remedial Clinic in Clontarf. Three years ago it would have been hard-pressed to find employees from outside Ireland, with the possible exception of England or Wales. Now it has employees from Canada, South Africa, Australia, Sweden, America, Croatia and Spain, to mention but a few. This has happened within the past three years or so. Any improvements that release more people into the workplace have got to be welcomed.
