Amharc ar fhreagraI can advise the Deputy that a review of the immigration arrangements for non-EEA circus performers is nearing completion within my Department.
Following the completion of that review, officials from my Department will engage with relevant stakeholders, including the circus industry and the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment.
The current immigration arrangements will remain in place pending the conclusion of that process of engagement and a final decision on the most appropriate future immigration arrangements for the sector concerned.
