Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 3 July 2014
98. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation the work permit status in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Longford; if their spouse and child are deemed to be their dependants or vice versa; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [28924/14]
View answerMy Department is responsible for the issuing of employment permits.
The person named by the Deputy holds a current work permit valid from 4 November 2013 and is valid for an unlimited period. In addition the person held employment permits from 3 November 2006 to 3 November 2013. I understand that on foot of this permit history the person was issued with an immigration stamp 4 that allows for employment without the requirement to hold a current employment permit.
The Deputy’s question regarding the named person’s spouse and child falls within the remit of my colleague the Minister for Justice and Equality.
