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 only for highly skilled, highly paid positions or for non-EEA nationals already legally resident in the State on valid employment permits. Having examined an appeal, the Appeals Officer has upheld the original refusal and the applicant was notified of this decision in writing by letter dated 22/5/2008. In these circumstances, therefore, I regret that it is not possible to re-visit this case.
