The land of living skies is turning to the Emerald Isle for help with a labour shortage.
A delegation of Saskatchewan employers and officials with the Ministry of Economy is heading back to Ireland to recruit more high-skilled workers.
Employers are hoping to recruit at least 80 high-skilled workers this year, including heavy duty mechanics, welders, engineers and machinists.
Economy Minister Bill Boyd says it's a chance to fill positions that could not be filled by recruitment efforts in Canada.
The province says more than 290 Irish families moved to Saskatchewan after a recruitment trip last year.
The provincial government has said at least 60,000 more workers will be needed in the next seven years.
