Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 October 2013
220. Deputy Denis Naughten asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation the position regarding a work permit application in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Roscommon; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [44518/13]
View answerAn application in respect of the person in question was refused on 23rd July 2013 on the grounds that it appeared that no Labour Market Needs Test had been carried out. A review of this decision was sought in accordance with Section 13 of the Employment Permits Act, 2006 but this was not received within the timeframe required by the Act. However a new permit application has been received in respect of this proposed employee and I understand that officials in my Department are in contact with the applicant in relation to this application.
