Question 420: To ask the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the reason a work permit application for a person (details supplied) was refused; if his Department took into account that, despite extensive efforts including prolonged advertising campaigns and assistance from FÁS, all efforts failed to yield an eligible candidate for the position on offer; and if in this circumstance he will re-examine this work permit application.

The Employment Permits Section of my Department has informed me that the application in respect of the above named was initially refused as her immigration status precluded her from entering full-time employment. The decision was appealed and upheld. However, it is intended that the Employment Permits Section contact the employer in question this week, on the basis of new information received from that employer, in order to clarify what would be required to submit a completed, valid application in this case.
