In an interview with this newspaper, Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration, and Youth Roderic O’Gorman ranged over different aspects of the integration part of his brief.

He noted, for instance, the possibility that the Irish visa programme may have to be updated to accommodate the economic migrants who will be necessary to address specific skills shortages.
