asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce whether he is aware that citizens of the Republic, who are working in the Six Counties, are being fined because they have not got employment permits, and, if so, whether he has made, or proposes to make, representations to the appropriate authority in the matter.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Employment Permits in Six Counties.
The answer to the first part of the question is in the negative.
I am aware that legislation in force in the Six County area requires workers from outside that area to hold employment permits, but I am not satisfied that representations regarding the operation of that legislation would achieve any useful purpose.
