The Government decided in December 2005 to introduce a new scheme for the...

Tony Killeen: All Members are aware of examples of the failure to reunite families and the enormous difficulties created as a result. The scheme introduced by the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform last December brings clarity to the issue and represents a considerable improvement.

- Employment Permits Bill 2005: Report Stage. (5 Apr 2006)
Tony Killeen: This important point was raised by Deputy Howlin on Committee Stage but it is covered in the Bill. Deputy Howlin was concerned that an employment agency may be an applicant for a work permit. This, however, does not arise because section 1(2) and (3) expressly prohibit an employment agency from applying for an employment permit in respect of a person who would be employed to provide a service...

I am not disposed to accepting the amendment, however, because in practical terms it is much easier â and more likely to be successful â to have the employer advertise the job, find the employee and make the application. The safeguard provided addresses their concerns in that the...

Tony Killeen: Ultimately, the judgment I am making concerns what the most efficient system is. There is a considerable amount of paperwork involved in making an application for a work permit and clearly there are huge advantages for the Department in knowing who the employer is and having that paperwork in as well as the employee's. On balance it seems more sensible and more workable in the vast majority...
