I propose to take Questions Nos. 168, 169, 170 and 171 together.

The Employment Permits Section of my Department inform me that the General Employment Permit applications for the all persons concerned (in details supplied) were received on dates between 8th December 2021 and 4th January 2022.

Applications for employment permits are dealt with in date order. The Employment Permits Section of my Department are currently processing standard applications received on 15th September 2021.

Applicants can keep track of Employment Permit applications current processing dates at enterprise.gov.ie/en/What-We-Do/Workplace-and-Skills/Employment-Permits/Current-Application-Processing-Dates/Current-Processing-Dates-for-Employment-Permits.html.

If a permit is urgently required, an applicant may request to have an application expedited. A request to have an application expedited will only be considered in exceptional cases. The Department can only consider a request to expedite an employment permit application where a detailed business case is provided.

Once the business case is completed it should be submitted to Employmentpermits@enterprise.gov.ie for consideration. It is important to point out that the completion of a business case does not guarantee that an expedite will be facilitated. A business case is required to be completed for each individual request.

There is also an Online Status Update Enquiry - for details on a particular application on this link:

Question No. 169 answered with Question No. 168.
