Question 241: To ask the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the reason a work permit was refused to a person (details supplied). [4014/08]

The Employment Permits Section of my Department has informed me that this application was refused as the immigration status of the applicant precludes him from entering full-time employment. In addition, it would be necessary to show evidence of efforts to recruit an EEA national for the position concerned. An appeal was lodged and the decision was upheld.

The employment permits section of my Department informs me that no valid application has been received in respect of the above named. However, his immigration status as a student would preclude him from entering full-time employment.
