National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang'ula has called on leaders to work with allied partners to unlock available job opportunities for young people battling joblessness.
Speaking during his three-day tour to Ireland, Wetang'ula noted that the two countries share a common interest in the trade, tourism and food production sectors.
In Ireland, he held various meetings with different players including President Michael Higgins.
Wetangula added that both nations also share common interests in the exportation of skilled labour in the nursing and technology sectors.
Acknowledging that tourism remains one of Kenya's biggest foreign exchange earners, he implored President Higgins to encourage his citizens to explore the country's magic and revere in its beauty and splendour.
"I understand the weather here can be erratic. We have beautiful weather, warm beaches and lots of wild animals that form the splendour of magical Kenya. The people are also a resource that your country can tap into," he said.
"Encourage your people to take advantage of the visa-free directive issued by our President William Ruto."
During a closed-door meeting, President Higgins also made known his desire to see Kenya and by extension, Africa get a fair and equitable share of support.
This is to facilitate free trade, human development sharing of scientific research, technology and food security for self-sufficiency.
Wetang'ula also held sessions with Ireland's Health Minister Stephen Donnelly who enumerated opportunities in the nursing industry, stressing the need for skilling and training of nurses who can tap into the available positions.
To understand the strides that had been made to boost food production, under the invitation of Speaker Sean O Fearghail, TD, Speaker of the Dáil Éireann (National Assembly), the delegation that included members of the National Assembly toured Kerry Group.
The Group is making revolutionary changes in the food and beverage industry.
There, the Kenyan team learnt that Kerry Group is expanding to the East African Market with a mango production promotion already set up in Tana River.
Speaker Wetang'ula was also privileged to tour the National University of Ireland, Maynooth Campus in Kildare, where he identified possible areas of cooperation including exchange programs.
The delegation was received by Kenyan Ambassador to Ireland Tabu Irina who acknowledged the challenge in registration of Kenyans living in the diaspora.
He called on the State Department of diaspora affairs to intensify its push to expand mobile consular services, noting that the pace at which it has started should continue.
The Speaker was accompanied by MPs including Peter Kaluma (Homabay Town), Liza Chelule (Nakuru Woman Rep), Jane Kagiri (Laikipia Woman Rep), Nebert Muriuki (Mbeere South), Fatuma Jehow (Wajir Woman Rep) Zaheer Jhanda (Nyaribari Chache) and Steve Apopo (Director Speaker's Office).
