Alan Shatter
Question:239 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 in the State; 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.
