Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 July 2013
466. Deputy Derek Nolan asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation the position on a work permit in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Galway; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35165/13]
View answerAn application for a Green Card Employment Permit was received in respect of the person named. This application was refused on 23 January 2013. Following a request for a review the refusal decision was upheld on the basis that the information on the application indicated that the employer was trading under a business name that was not registered with the Companies Registration Office. Registration of a business name is obligatory if any individual, partnership or body corporate is trading under a name other than their own true name. Under Section 13 of the employment Permits Act, 2006 it is not possible to revisit this application as the refusal decision has already been upheld on review. However a new application may be made and an employment permit may be granted subject to the normal criteria.
