Alan Shatter
Ceist:26 Mr. Shatter asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform his views on whether non-EU doctors appointed to hospital posts should be entitled to have their spouses and children accompany them and reside with them; his further view on whether the current visa regulations, which prevent this for the first year of a doctor's appointment, are unreasonable and destructive of family life; and if he will take the action required at Government level to effect a change to these regulations.
