I am informed by the Immigration Division of my Department that the person concerned has permission to remain in the State until the 22nd February 2008 as the dependant spouse of a working visa holder. The conditions of this permission to remain do not entitle her to enter employment in the State.

However, if she wishes to enter employment in the State it is open to her to contact the Work Permit Section of the Department of Enterprise, Trade & Employment in relation to the spousal work permit scheme.

If she wishes to study in the State she needs to leave the State and re-enter on the appropriate visa.
