Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 6 February 2018
291. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation the progress to date in the determination of a work permit application in the case of a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [5528/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraAn application for a General Employment Permit for the person referred to by the Deputy (details above) was received on 20th November, 2017.
A decision was made to refuse the granting of the application on 1st February, 2018, and the applicant has been notified of this decision in writing and of their right to request a review of this decision in line with the provisions of the Employment Permits Acts within 28 days.
This application was refused on the basis that this company does not appear to be trading at present. Also, documentation and information provided with the application appeared to have been in relation to another company.
A refusal to grant an employment permit does not preclude an applicant from submitting another application for an employment permit. Such an application should comply with all of the legislative requirements pertaining to the particular employment permit type.
My officials have been in contact with the prospective employer over the last number of weeks and will assist them with any future queries or applications for employment permits.
