Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 15 February 2023
37. Deputy Paul Kehoe asked the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if he will consider reviewing the decision to refuse applications that failed pre-check where the remuneration figures were incorrect due to the change in minimum wage between 2022 and 2023 (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [7588/23]
View answerThe applications submitted in respect of the Employment Permits in the details supplied were returned to the applicant following an initial pre-check, as discrepancies were identified in the Labour Market Needs Test and the application form.
As the applications concerned were not formally accepted for processing, the returns are not considered to be refusals. The applicant has been advised to submit new applications.
A full refund of the fee paid has been returned to the applicant. New applications are currently being processed within 5-8 business days.
