Question 1710: To ask the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Innovation if a person (details supplied) in County Carlow qualifies for a work permit; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [32767/10]

I am advised that my Department does not have any record of an employment permit being issued in respect of the individual concerned.

Furthermore, it is current Government policy to issue new employment permits for highly skilled, highly paid positions or, in respect of non-EEA nationals who are already legally resident in the State on valid employment permits or, where there is an officially recognized scarcity of workers of a particular type or qualification.

Should the person concerned, or their prospective employer, wish to submit an application to my Department, it will be considered on its merits and in line with current policy.
