Written answers

The work permit section of my Department has recently made a decision to refuse the application for a work permit in this case on the following grounds: from documentation submitted in support of this application it appears that the employee in question received less than the wage specified on last year's work permit application. Under those circumstances the issuing of a work permit could not be justified. The employer has been notified of this decision and of the right of appeal.

Paul Kehoe

Question:

195 Mr. Kehoe asked the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the status of the work permit application from a company (details supplied) in County Wexford; when a decision will be made on the permit; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [33125/04]

View answer

There is no record in my Department of a valid work permit application in this case. Work permit applications, which are incorrect or incomplete, are not regarded as valid applications and are returned to the employer for completion.
