O'Gorman: Thousands more visas could be awarded to lower-skilled economic migrants 

Roderic O'Gorman: Pointed to Dublin Bus, which has been seeking to recruit drivers from abroad.

Thousands more visas could be awarded through a new system for lower-skilled economic migrants being pushed by the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth.

Roderic O'Gorman has said the international protection process shouldn't be "conflated" with the labour needs of this country and instead wants to broaden the visa system to allow more economic migrants to come here.
