Question 180: To ask the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment his views on whether the Employment Permits Act 2006 has the effect of preventing people from changing employers or applying for a new employment permit within the first 12 months of starting a new job; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that exploitation can occur immediately and this legislation provides no remedy for an individual in that circumstance; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The Employment Permits Act 2006 does not preclude me from granting a new employment permit to an employee to enable them to change employer within the first 12 months of commencing employment in instances where it can be demonstrated that exploitation of the employee has taken place.
