The Work Permit section of my Department informs me that the position of plasterer is on the list of occupational sectors eligible for Work Permits. However, information received from FÁS/EURES indicates that there is currently an adequate supply of qualified plasterers available from within the EU to meet all needs in this area. Accordingly, Work Permit applications are not currently being approved for this job category.
