Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Pre-legislative Scrutiny of the General Scheme of the Employment Permits (Consolidation and Amendment) Bill 2019

Ms Fiona Ward:

I do not agree with the Deputy. At the end of the day, I do not know how we would even arrange that operationally. We issued 16,500 permits last year. It would be extremely onerous to print permits in different languages. We have never had any complaints from people saying they had not received the information. The website is clearly available and people can log on to get that information. I respectfully disagree with the Deputy. Permit holders do get information relating to their rights.
