The Employment Permits Section informs me that it appears from their records the above named has held employment permits for more than five consecutive years. On this basis it would appear that the individual might qualify for a Stamp 4 under the new regulations.

However, the issue of a Stamp 4 is a matter for the Immigration Authorities of the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform. In those circumstances, I would suggest that the above named contact his local immigration officer with the required supporting documentation. Details of the supporting documentation required can be found at www.inis.gov.ie.
