Europe has a population of 500 million. Ireland is less than 1 percent of the total. It is not difficult to imagine that Ireland will qualify for very few of the 55.000 diversity visas made available under H.R. 4300. The transition visas made available under the bill are only avilable for 3 years. and are targeted to adversely affected countries. This will provide some help to the Irishbut again. in competition with several other countries of the world. Moreover. this provision of the bill has provoked a threatened Presidential veto of H.R. 4300. If the bill is vetoed. Ireland will get nothing. Finally. the employmentbased visa provision of the bill contains some targeted visas to adversely affected countries. but really applies worldwide. there is no guaranteenonethat Ireland will get one of these visas. Again. I agree with the premise. but question the potential outcome.
