Agree

Increase

Fine Gael generally supports policies that attract high-skilled workers to Ireland, as they believe it can boost the economy and create jobs. For example, they have supported the introduction of the Critical Skills Employment Permit, which aims to attract highly skilled workers to Ireland. However, they may not strongly advocate for a significant increase in temporary work visas.

Agree

Increase, our economy relies on businesses hiring the highest skilled workers at the lowest cost

Fine Gael may agree to some extent that the economy relies on businesses hiring the highest skilled workers at the lowest cost, but they are also likely to consider other factors, such as the well-being of the domestic workforce and the overall economic climate. They may support an increase in temporary work visas for high-skilled immigrant workers, but not solely for the purpose of lowering labor costs.

Slightly agree

I am satisfied with the current amount

Fine Gael may be somewhat satisfied with the current amount of temporary work visas, but they are likely to be open to adjustments depending on the needs of the economy and the labor market. Their focus is on attracting skilled workers and supporting businesses, so they may be flexible in their approach to visa numbers.

Neutral

Decrease, and the government should provide more incentives to prepare our citizens for these jobs

Fine Gael does support initiatives to prepare Irish citizens for high-skilled jobs, but they are unlikely to advocate for a decrease in temporary work visas as a means to achieve this goal. They may prefer to focus on education and training programs to improve the skills of the domestic workforce while still attracting skilled immigrants.

Disagree

Decrease, companies are currently taking advantage of this program to decrease wages

While Fine Gael may be concerned about potential abuses of the visa system, they are generally pro-business and pro-growth, so they are unlikely to strongly support a decrease in temporary work visas based on this concern alone. They may prefer to address any issues through regulation and enforcement rather than reducing visa numbers.

Disagree

Decrease

Fine Gael is unlikely to support a decrease in temporary work visas for high-skilled immigrant workers, as they generally believe in the benefits of attracting skilled workers to Ireland. Decreasing the number of visas would go against their pro-business and pro-growth policies.
