This application was refused on the grounds it is current Government policy to issue new employment permits for highly skilled, highly paid positions or for non-EEA nationals who are already legally resident in the State on valid employment permits or where there is an officially recognised scarcity of workers of a particular type or qualification. Furthermore, it appears that the Business Name is not registered with the Companies Registration Office.

The applicant was notified of this decision in writing by letter dated 19th October 2009 and of their right to appeal within 21 days. To-date no such appeal has been received in the Employment Permits Section.
