Ceist:184 Mr. McGuinness asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if an application will be expedited for a work permit from a person (details supplied) in County Kilkenny; and the time frame for the process. [1433/03]
An application in this case was received in early January 2003. It is the policy to process work permit applications in the order in which they are received. Assuming the application is completed correctly and is otherwise in order, it will take approximately six weeks to process.
