This application was refused on the grounds it is current Government policy to issue new employment permits only for highly skilled, highly paid positions or for non-EEA nationals who are already legally resident in the State on valid employment permits or where there is an officially recognised scarcity of workers of a particular type or qualification. Furthermore, the position on offer is one of the occupations currently ineligible for a new employment permit. The applicant was notified of this decision in writing by letter dated 16th September 2009 and of their right to appeal within 21 days.
