Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 October 2016
635. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation the status of a work permit in respect of a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [30309/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraAn Intra Company Transfer Employment Permit application was refused in respect of the person named by the Deputy on 23rd September 2016 as at the time of application it appeared that the foreign national’s immigration permission from the Minister for Justice and Equality precluded him from entering employment in the State.
The named person held an Atypical Working Scheme immigration permission that allowed him to remain in employment for a six month period.
The Department of Justice and Equality (Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service - INIS) in agreement with the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, administers the Atypical Working Scheme. The Atypical Working Scheme is designed to provide a streamlined mechanism to deal with foreign nationals who wish to enter the State for once off atypical or short term employments.
In accordance with Section 13 the Employment Permits Act, 2006 as amended, the applicant was informed of the right to seek a review of this decision within twenty-eight (28) days from the date of the refusal letter. To date no such request has been received.
