The Employment Permits section of my Department inform me that an application for a General Employment Permit for the person concerned was received on 11 September 2017.

The application was referred for a pre-issue investigation to the Workplace Relations Commission. The application was refused on 8th February for a number of reasons, including the status of the employee in the State, the nature of business of the employer and outstanding documentation from the Revenue Commissioners.

The applicant was notified of this decision in writing and of their right to request a review of this decision within 28 days, in line with the provisions of the Employment Permits Acts. I am informed that no request for a review was received from the applicant or their authorised agent.

A refusal to grant an employment permit does not preclude an applicant from submitting another application for an employment permit. Such an application should comply with all of the legislative requirements for the particular employment permit type.
