The Employment Permits Section of my Department informs me that an application for a General Employment Permit for the person concerned was received on 5 April 2018. 

The application was refused on 17th July for a number of reasons including that the foreign national appears to have been in employment in the State prior to this application without an employment permit, the nature of business of the employer and the absence of a signed contract of employment.

A review of this decision was requested on 24th July 2018.  The review concluded on 6th September and the original decision was upheld.  Additional information provided as part of the review included a signed contract of employment.  However, the information received did not adequately address that the employee appears to have been in employment in the State prior to the application without an employment permit and the nature of business of the employer. 

The applicant has been notified in writing of this decision and as to the reasons why.

A refusal to issue a permit in this instance does not preclude any further applications as long as all the legislative requirements for the permit are met.
