Written answers

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

Each work permit application is considered on its own merits. I am informed that the work permit section of my Department wrote to the employer on 12 February 2004 requesting additional information in order to process the application. To date no reply has been received.
