Irish Nationality and Citizenship Bill 2004: Committee Stage.
12:00 pm
Maurice Cummins (Fine Gael)
There is much merit in what has been said by both speakers. In regard to the student issue I can see from where the Minister is coming. On Second Stage he said students are transient, in that they are coming here for their studies and then returning. In a recently published article it was stated there is much abuse of the system and that unscrupulous people are profiting on students as a means of getting a visa. The Minister expanded on that issue and may expand further at this stage.
