Seasonal workers’ scheme queried

Letters

WHAT is the latest news with the seasonal workers’ scheme that the Department of Labour and Industrial Relations has been tasked to look after?
I am one of the many applicants who believes has met all the necessary requirements and has registered.
I have provided a police clearance, medical examination report, a reference from my ward member, NID, birth certificate and my passport.
I lodged my application and was registered in 2015 and has never heard back from them since. An update would be appreciated.
I suspect there is foul play by people involved with the programme.
The minister responsible should look into this, otherwise it will be a waste of everybody’s time.
Clearly this has become a ‘who you know’ scheme.
