Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
Direct Provision: Discussion with Ombudsman
Mr. Sean Garvey:
To my knowledge, there are no restrictions on the right to work under the directive. People were temporarily given the right to formally seek work permits under the work permit scheme which was very restrictive and designed for non-EU citizens who were seeking entry to the country. However, since the element of the directive which granted people the right to work was implemented, it is universal.
