The work permit section of my Department recently decided to refuse the application for a work permit in this case on the following grounds: from documentation submitted in support of the application it appeared that the proposed employee, while resident in the State, did not have current valid residency permission. There appeared to be no evidence to show that sufficient efforts were made by the employer to recruit an EEA national to fill the position. The employer has been notified of this decision in writing and has been informed of the right of appeal.
