I thank the Cathaoirleach.

I really want to talk about work permits, a review of which was carried out last year. The changes made were welcomed by the hospitality and agriculture sectors. Almost one year has passed since they were introduced. The Leader might call on the Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation, Deputy Humphreys, to come before the Seanad in order that we can review the regulations that were changed last year with a view to updating them. There are certain difficulties, particularly in the hospitality sector. People are trying to get different types of chef into the country to provide services here. They are not being trained or facilitated here in this country. Such a debate might be possible.
