But unfortunately, your circuses don't come under a separate category.

So we have to have now with this new legislation, there is a 50-50 rule that for every non-EU member, we have to have an EU member.

So that's very difficult to us when we have to like really go out to the likes of South America or Africa to get our artists in.

And then if we lose maybe a troop saying from Cuba or from Kenya or Morocco, well then we're obliged really to sack the five or six EU people that we have to make sure that we balance up the numbers.

And I mean, it's so ridiculous to the point of that I have to, when we apply for a work permit,

we have to put in our local job centre an advertisement looking like for a flying trapeze act or a high wire act.

And they're not very common in Ireland, I can tell you.
