Ceist:

513 Mr. P. Breen asked the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the reason an application for a work permit in County Clare for a non-national person (details supplied) was refused same in view of the fact that they had exhausted all other means of filling the position by a person within the enlarged EU; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment (Mr. Martin)

There is no record in my Department of a valid work permit application in this case. Work permit applications which are incorrect or incomplete are not regarded as valid applications and are returned to the employer for completion.

Question Nos. 514 to 517, inclusive, answered with Question No. 511.
