I am trying to do so. It is a business-related issue. While the Minister of State is before the House, I will raise the issue of work permits and people in the workforce. There is a real problem whereby people apply for work permits and get accepted, but are refused a visa and then cannot be reimbursed for applying for their work permit. Surely, there is something we can do for businesses, whether by reimbursing them or by crediting them for the next time they apply for a work permit. I thank the Cathaoirleach Gníomhach very much for his leniency.
