Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 21 June 2006
153 Mr. P. Breen asked the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the reason a person (details supplied) in County Clare did not qualify for a work permit; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24076/06]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Government recently decided that the current Spousal Work Permits Scheme would be expanded to include Spouses of all Employment Permit Holders. These new arrangements will give greater ease of access to employment for spouses who have been admitted to the State under Family Reunification.
The Work Permits section is currently finalising the administrative details of the extended scheme. When this is done, information and details of how to apply under the new Scheme will be available on this Department's website at www.entemp.ie. In the meantime I have asked my officials to review this case and contact the person involved.
