182. Deputy Bernard J.

View answerInformation sought by the Department in its letter of 8 September 2015 to the person named by the Deputy was received on 8 October 2015. As I outlined in Dáil Question No. 93 on 12 November 2015, this application was refused on 7th November 2015 for the following reasons:
- The occupation in question is on the List of Ineligible Categories of Employment for Employment Permits.
- The remuneration on offer was less than the minimum annual remuneration specified in regulation 26 of the Employment Permits Regulations.
- The person referred to by the Deputy was in the State without current immigration permission from the Minister for Justice and Equality.
- The manner in which the advertisement had been published did not meet the requirements set out in the Employment Permits Regulations.
The applicant (in this case the employer) was notified that he may request a Review of this decision within 28 days from date of the refusal letter of 7th November 2015.
