The man behind the US Greencard system is advising the Irish government to introduce the opportunity of permanent residence for immigrants.
Bruce Morrison, a former US Congressman, says immigrants should not be admitted on a temporary work permit basis, when they intend to settle in Ireland.
He was speaking at a forum hosted by the Immigrant Council of Ireland in response to the government`s draft legislation on immigration.
Mr Morrison says temporary permits are unrealistic.
