The Department is of the view that it would not be appropriate for the Irish Government to comment on the processes surrounding the UK Government's employment permit system.

The Department has no view as to whether Irish companies may or may not be registered for a licence to sponsor workers (in this case pilots) for a right to work in the UK. This would be a matter for the UK as to whether such a licence would be accepted – and so the question should be asked of the relevant UK authorities.
