Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 8 February 2018
177. Deputy Paul Kehoe asked the Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation the options open to a person (details supplied) to receive an employment permit; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [6583/18]
View answerAn application for a General Employment Permit for the person concerned was received on 26 November 2017.
A decision was made to refuse the granting of the application on 23 January 2018, and the applicant has been notified of this decision in writing and of their right to request a review of this decision in line with the provisions of the Employment Permits Acts within 28 days.
This application was refused on the basis that some essential documentation required for the application process was not provided by the applicant.
A refusal to grant an employment permit does not preclude an applicant from submitting another application for an employment permit. Such an application should comply with all of the legislative requirements pertaining to the particular employment permit type.
My officials have been in direct contact with the prospective employer within the last few days and have outlined the options available to them to assist with a resolution.
