The work permit section of my Department has informed me that it has no record of any valid application in this instance. It should be pointed out, however, that incomplete and incorrectly completed applications, or applications for ineligible sectors or ineligible types of employee are returned to the employer concerned.

Question 392: To ask the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if work permits will become mandatory for citizens of the 12 most recent EU accession countries; the implications for free movement of labour within the Union; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2861/06]

I have no plans to require nationals of the new member states of the European Union to obtain work permits and there are, therefore, no implications for free movement of labour within the Union.
