Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment (Ms Harney)

I can confirm that an application for a work permit in respect of the individual concerned was received by my Department on 13 November.

The applicant has been asked for some additional details in relation to the application and a decision will be taken on the case as soon as this is received.
