Written Answers. - Visa Requirement.

Jim O'Keeffe

Question:

146 Mr. J. O'Keeffe asked the Minister for Justice the reason Ireland continues to maintain a visa requirement for visitors from Poland who wish to come here; and whether there is a case for dropping this requirement in the light of the vastly changed circumstances in Poland.

Minister for Justice (Mr. Burke)

The question of whether a visa requirement for Polish nationals should be maintained has been reviewed from time to time and will continue to be so reviewed in the general context, not only of developments in Poland, but also of visa policy generally.
