Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 November 2023
169. Deputy Aodhán Ó Ríordáin asked the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment for an update on when the Employment Permits Bill 2022 is likely to be progress to report stage in Dáil Éireann; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [49656/23]
View answerThe drafting of amendments to the Employment Permits Bill is ongoing and at an advanced stage with work to finalise provisions covering key aspects such as the Seasonal Employment Permit, and the Transfer of Employer being a priority for my Department.
It is my preference for the Employment Permits Bill to be brought into the Dáil as soon as possible and this will be achieved once the amendments are completed.
Depending on Oireachtas scheduling and whether any further amendments are proposed, it is expected that the legislative process will be completed, and the Bill passed early next year.
