On the question of reviewing policy in relation to volunteers and religious workers I would refer the Deputy to my reply on this matter on 4 March 2009 (Question No 125). That review is being progressed having regard to current policies and legislation and also the legislative proposals contained in the Immigration Residence and Protection Bill. The Immigration Residence and Protection Bill 2008, which is currently awaiting Report Stage in the House, contains proposals for a legislative framework which will allow for the enhanced management of inward migration.
