75. To ask the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation if he considers it necessary that an exemption from international student fees should be given to children of an Irish person working for an Enterprise Ireland assisted company and has been required to live outside the EU for more than three of the past five years in an attempt to grow the company.

Enterprise Ireland supports companies to grow and scale and achieve international sales. This often involves senior employees spending a number of years in overseas market outside of the EU. Developing markets outside of the EU is core to the Strategy on Trade, Tourism and Investment. Enterprise Ireland would encourage policy initiatives that would support companies to encourage high performing business development executives to lead their company’s initiatives overseas. However, consideration would have to be given to the legalities of any policy that would be directed exclusively at the employees or directors of Enterprise Ireland clients.
