Dara Calleary (Mayo, Fianna Fail)

I reject the assertion. We are continuing to monitor and to work with the Migrant Rights Centre of Ireland, MRCI and a range of Government agencies with regard to work permits. The target for processing correctly completed applications - these are the three key words - is 15 working days. Green cards, inter-company transfers and health care sector applications continue to be processed within this timeframe. There has been a delay in processing other employment types. It is generally taking 12 weeks to issue such type of permits-----
