162. Deputy Brendan Howlin asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment when a decision will be made in relation to an application by a person (details supplied) for a work permit; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [49533/22]
View answerThe Employment Permits Section of my Department informs me that a Critical Skills Employment Permit in respect of the first individual (in the details supplied) issued on 29/07/2020. This employment permit expired on 20/09/2022. The person concerned has been issued with a Stamp 4 Support Letter from my Department to enable them to apply for Stamp 4 permission from the Department of Justice. Once that is obtained they will no longer require an employment permit.
The Employment Permits Section of my Department informs me that a Critical Skills Employment Permit in respect of the second individual (in the details supplied) was received on 14th June 2022. Separate requests for further information in relation to this application issued from my Department on 24/07/2022, 10/09/2022 and on 05/10/2022. As soon as the response to the most recent request is received a decision will be made regarding this application.
