The person in question made an application for permission to operate a business in the State under the business permission scheme in November 2004. An initial request for documentation issued in November 2004 and a reply was received in January 2005. Due to the large volume of such applications currently on hands the case was not further processed until October 2005 when a further request for documentation was issued. It is expected that the application will be finalised within the next two weeks.
