Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 30 April 2014
253. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation if a work permit application in the case of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 1 will be granted in view of their residency here for the past seven years and the fact that they have been in regular employment on a part-time basis; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [18670/14]
View answerAn application in respect of the person named by the Deputy was refused by my Department on 11th April 2014 for the following reasons. It appeared from the information received supporting the application that the position on offer was one of the occupations currently ineligible for a new employment permit. In addition it appeared that insufficient efforts were made to recruit an Irish or EEA/Swiss National for this position by advertising with DSP Employment Services/EURES and also in national or local newspapers or on a job website (other than DSP). Finally, the level of remuneration offered in respect of a post for which a permit was sought was less than the minimum remuneration of €30,000 per annum required.
The applicant in this case may request that this decision be reviewed in accordance with Section 13 the Employment Permits Act, 2006, within twenty-one days from the date of the refusal letter that issued in respect of this application. Any such submission, addressed to the Appeals Officer, Employment Permits Section, Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Davitt House, Adelaide Road, Dublin 2, will be considered on the basis of the evidence available to my Department and any further information of relevance that the applicant may wish to submit.
