I move amendment No. 141:

In page 42, line 15, after “subsection (3).” to insert the following:“Where an employer has failed to provide a P45 or other relevant document to a foreign national to whom an employment permit in respect of the purpose referred to in section 3A(2)(a) has been granted further to a dismissal by reason of redundancy within the meaning of section 7(2) of the Act of 1967 the Minister shall be responsible for acquiring such documentation from the employer.”.

This deals with cases where employers are not fulfilling their responsibilities. It also addresses instances of informal insolvencies where an employer may cease trading for a variety of reasons and not provide the permit holder with the necessary documentation to normalise his or her position. As the employer's relationship is with the Department, the amendment seeks to ensure the Department would pursue the employer for the necessary documentation.
