43. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if his Department will expedite a decision on an application for a work permit by a person (details supplied) given the exceptional circumstances of the person concerned. [59296/21]
View answerThe Employment Permits Section of my Department inform me that a standard application for a Reactivation Employment Permit for the person concerned (details supplied) was received on 25 November 2021.
Applications for employment permits are dealt with in date order, however given the details outlined by the Deputy the Employment Permits Section of my Department have prioritised consideration of this application. Given that the person concerned left his first employment in the State before 12 months had expired (12 Month Rule), he will be asked to provide an explanation as to why he left his previous employment as no explanation was provided as part of the application submitted.
