Question 200: To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if her attention has been drawn to the case of a person (details supplied) in County Wexford; if her further attention has been drawn to the newspaper reports of 22 September 2008 indicating her intention to regularise the status of migrant workers who have become undocumented through no fault of their own, as has occurred in this case; if the benefit of this policy will be applied in this case; her views on whether it is equitable to treat this as a new employment permit application and to refuse a permit under the Employment Permits Act 2006, when the applicant had a valid work permit up to May 2005 and was unaware of and not responsible for the fact that their employer had failed to apply for further renewal and that the refusal of this renewal application is not reasonable; if she will review the refusal decision in this case; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 199 and 200 together.

The Employment Permits Section informs me that a work permit has now issued in this case.
