Written answers

Minister for Justice and Equality

I assume that the Deputy is referring to the Working Holiday Authorisation Scheme which is the responsibility of my colleague, the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade.

I am advised that further information on the Scheme can be obtained from the Department Foreign Affairs and Trade website on the following webpages https://www.dfa.ie/travel/visas/working-holiday-visas/
