Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 28 February 2024
38. Deputy Thomas Pringle asked the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the reason additional payments are now required for two Chinese nationals (details supplied) who have been working in Ireland for a number of years and currently have valid work permits; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9619/24]
View answerThe Employment Permits Section of the Department informs me that both of the individuals mentioned in the details supplied have been granted a renewal of their employment permit. Their permits are valid until September 2024 and March 2026 respectively.
The Department has no record of a request for an additional payment in respect of either of the permit holders.
The correspondence supplied states that there have been changes in respect of the company name and company director, following restructuring. The company should note that it must inform the Employment Permits section of the Department in respect of such changes. This is a requirement under Employment Permits Legislation. To date, no correspondence has been received on this matter.
