Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 6 December 2007
152 Deputy Leo Varadkar asked the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the number of green card work permits refused on the grounds that as a consequence of granting the permit the employer will have more than 50% non-EEA employees for the six months from February 2007; the numbers broken down by the employment sectors to which these refusals related; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [33118/07]
View answerThe table below shows the number of Green Cards refused wholly or partly because, if granted, the employer would have more than 50% of non-EEA employees and the employment sector to which these refusals relate in the six months from February 2007. I would point out that it is open to applicants to appeal decisions regarding employment permits application.
