Written Answers. - Labour Mobility.

Mr. Cuffe Mr. Cuffe

127. Mr. Cuffe asked the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if he intends to seek a change to Ireland’s current approach to the seven-year transition period for labour mobility as agreed under the accession treaties. [4125/06]

Mr. Martin Mr. Martin

Mr. Martin: I have no plans to change current policy regarding the access of EU-10 nationals to our labour market.

Ireland has had strong employment growth for a sustained period and skill shortages exist in many sectors. The presence of migrant labour in Ireland is critical to the continuation of our economic growth.

[153] I have asked FÁS to review the labour market effects of immigration. This work is still in progress. A preliminary report is expected shortly.
