My officials inform me that they have no record of a permit being applied for in respect of the named individual.
I wish to advise the Deputy that it is current Government policy to issue new employment permits only in respect of:
highly skilled, highly paid positions; or
non-EEA nationals who are already legally resident in the State on valid employment permits; or
where there is an officially recognized scarcity of workers of a particular type or qualification.
Further information and the conditions that apply to the obtaining of new employment permits can be found at my Department's website atwww.djei.ie.
