I am informed by the Immigration Division of my Department that the person concerned has permission to remain on self sufficiency/dependancy conditions until the 30th July 2008. The conditions of her permission to remain do not entitle the person in question to take up employment in the State. Prior to the expiry of this permission to remain she should seek to renew her permission to remain with her local Immigration Officer.

Should the person referred to by the Deputy wish to take up employment in the State it will be necessary for a prospective employer to apply for a Work Permit on her behalf.

The issuing of Work Permits is a matter for my colleague, the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Davitt House, Adelaide Rd, Dublin 2.
