Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 12 November 2013
171. Deputy Denis Naughten asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation when a decision will be made on a work permit in respect of a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [48217/13]
View answerA Work Permit application made by an employer in respect of the person named by the Deputy was refused on 23rd July 2013 on the grounds that it appeared that no Labour Market Needs Test had been carried out in support of the application. A review of this decision was sought in accordance with Section 13 the Employment Permits Act, 2006 but this request was not received within the required timeframe and was thus a late appeal.
I understand that a second work permit application was then submitted to my Department by the employer on 22nd August 2013. This application was subsequently withdrawn. The person named by the Deputy submitted a third application on their own behalf on 29th October 2013. This current application will be processed shortly.
