The Employment Permits Section of my Department informs me that an application was received in the section on behalf of the above. This application was refused on the grounds that the proposed employee's permission to remain in the State had expired. This application was refused and the decision was upheld on appeal.

The Employment Permits Section of my Department informs me that work permit holders are advised that they should submit applications for renewal at least 12 weeks prior to the expiry of an existing permit. In this case, application for renewal was made only ten days prior to the expiry of the previous work permit and as a consequence, the new permit issued some time after the previous permit had expired. The Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform has responsibility for the issue of Immigration stamps.
