Written Answers. - Non-EEC Aliens.
771.
Limerick East): An alien is required to register with my Department after he has been here for three months. The number of non-EEC aliens so registered on 31 December 1982 was 13,118. A breakdown by nationality of that total is given below.
A non-EEC alien may not take up employment here unless an employment permit is issued to the employer by the Department of Labour. Such permits vary in duration depending on the particular circumstances of the employment concerned. The only relevant figure readily available is that 1,992 permits were issued during 1982.
Statistics showing the breakdown of registered aliens by sex and occupation would have to be specially compiled from individual records and their value would be incommensurate with the time and effort required to compile them.
