As the Deputy is aware, if an application for International Protection and a related application for permission to access the labour market has been made in the State, for confidentiality reasons, it is not the practice to comment on such applications and the applicant or his legal representative should contact either the Labour Market Access Unit of INIS or the International Protection Appeals Tribunal (IPAT) directly. 

The Labour Market Access Unit may be contacted either by email to lmauqueries@justice.ieor in writing to INIS Labour Market Access Unit at PO Box 12931, Freepost FDN5264, Dublin 2. The IPAT may be contacted either by email to info@protectionappeals.ie, by telephone at 01 474 8400 (or Lo-Call 1890 201 458), or in writing to Corporate Services Division, The International Protection Appeals Tribunal, 6-7 Hanover Street East, Dublin D02 W320. 

I am advised by the Labour Market Access Unit that, generally, applications for permission to access the labour market are replied to within one working day of receipt. The correspondence issued clearly sets out the reasons why an application may have been refused.
