Question:

513 Mr. P. Breen asked the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the reason an application for a work permit in County Clare for a non-national person (details supplied) was refused same in view of the fact that they had exhausted all other means of filling the position by a person within the enlarged EU; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [34243/04]

Written answers

Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment (Mr. Martin)

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.
