Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 7 February 2018
159. Deputy Fergus O'Dowd asked the Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation if a reply will issue to correspondence from a person (details supplied) regarding a work permit application; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [6118/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraAn application for a General Employment Permit for the person concerned was received on 23 November 2017.
A decision was made to refuse the granting of the application on 18 January 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 it appears that the occupation in question was an ineligible occupation for the purposes of obtaining an employment permit based on information provided by the applicant including the description of the employment to be undertaken and the job specifications.
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.
