An application for a Green Card Employment Permit was received in respect of the person named above. This application was refused on 23 January 2013. Following a request for a review the refusal decision was upheld on the basis that the information on the application indicated that the employer was trading under a business name that was not registered with the Companies Registration Office. Registration of a business name is obligatory if any individual, partnership or body corporate is trading under a name other than their own true name. Under Section 13 of the employment Permits Act, 2006 it is not possible to re-visit this application as the refusal decision has already been upheld on review. However a new application may be made and an employment permit may be granted subject to the normal criteria.
