Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 April 2012
370 Deputy Willie O’Dea asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation the number of work permits issued each year for the past four years; the breakdown of the countries where these applicants were from and their age, sex and their professional background. [20507/12]
View answerIt is current Government policy to issue new employment permits only in respect of:
highly skilled, highly paid positions or;
non-EEA nationals who are already legally resident in the State on valid employment permits or;
positions requiring specialist or scarce skills, expertise or qualifications which cannot be filled elsewise.
Furthermore, employment permits are only considered where it is established that the prospective employee has the relevant skills, qualifications or experience for the position on offer.
I set out below the figures as requested by the Deputy:
