There is no record of current applications for visas in my Department in respect of the persons referred to. The people concerned should make applications to the Irish Embassy in Ankara, Turkey. Comprehensive details of the types of visa, the procedures and the documents required are available on the website of the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service — www.inis.gov.ie.
Questions relating to work permits are a matter for the Work Regulations Division of the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment. A reply to the Deputy's representations on this matter will be issued in the near future.
