The Employment Permits Section of my Department informs me that this application was refused on the grounds that it is current Government policy to issue new employment permits for highly skilled highly paid positions or for non-EEA nationals already legally resident in the State on valid employment permits. Furthermore, the position on offer is one of the occupational categories currently ineligible for an employment permit. The applicant was notified of this decision in writing by letter dated 6th May 2008 and of their right to appeal within 21 days. To-date no such appeal has been received in the Employment Permits Section.
