74 Mr. Penrose asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment when work permits will be issued for persons (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [27138/01]
Work permits issued in respect of the two individuals concerned in August 2000 for a one year period. Subsequent applications were made on behalf of these individuals by a different employer in March 2001. These applications were refused and subsequently appealed. It has been necessary to make inquires of officials with the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform in relation to these applications and a decision on the appeal is expected within the next week.
