I move amendment No. 86:

In page 27, between lines 35 and 36, to insert the following:“(8) The Minister shall establish an independent appeals mechanism for persons refused an employment permit under the provisions of subsection (1).”.

This amendment aims to open another appeals mechanism for persons who are refused a permit. It would make it possible for an outside body to consider it, particularly given the consequences of somebody’s application being turned down for his or her residency and status in the State.
