An application in respect of the above named was received in the Employment Permits Section on the 11/02/2009. This application was refused and the applicant was notified of this decision in writing by letter dated 28/04/2009 and of their right to appeal within 21 days. An appeal was lodged on the 21/5/2009 but as this was received outside the 21-day timeframe it could not be heard. In these circumstances, therefore, this application cannot be re-visited. However, should the prospective employer or employee wish to make a new application for a Work Permit, it will be considered on its merits.
