Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 12 February 2013
347. Deputy Seán Ó Fearghaíl asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation if he will provide an update on the renewal of a work permit in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Kildare; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [7219/13]
View answerA work permit application was refused in this instance on 3rd June 2011 as new Employment Permit applications are normally only considered where it is established that a minimum salary of €30,000 per annum is on offer based on a 39 hour week and where the position on offer is one of the occupations currently eligible for a new employment permit. In addition it appeared from supporting documentation that insufficient efforts were made to recruit/train an Irish or EEA National for the position.
This refusal decision was subsequently appealed and the refusal decision was upheld on 15th August 2011. There is no record of another application in respect of this person since then.
