193 Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if his attention has been drawn to a provision (details supplied); the reason for the discrepancy; and if he will take steps to rectify it. [4297/08]
Amharc ar fhreagraIn response to a previous Parliamentary Question No. 1274 on 30 January 2008 I explained the position in relation to Work Permits and the Certificate of Registration which is granted to holders of those permits.
Green Card Permits which are different from Work Permits are applicable to those earning €60K or more per annum or those earning over €30K in occupations where high level strategic skills shortages exist. The issue of aligning the term of a Green Card Permit and a Certificate of Registration is being reviewed.
I have asked the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service to examine the material on the website and to update as necessary.
