View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 268 and 269 together.
The Employment Permits Section of my Department continues to operate with a strong focus on efficiency and on improving overall processing timelines across all permit types. Ongoing measures are in place to streamline processes and ensure that applications are dealt with as quickly as possible.
In this instance, I am informed that, due to a technical issue at the time of submission, the required supporting documentation was not received by the Department. Officials in the Employment Permits Section are engaging directly with the applicant regarding this issue and to request the outstanding documentation. On receipt, the application will be prioritised for processing, having regard to the circumstances outlined.
While it is not possible to provide a definitive processing timeline until all required documentation has been received and validated, every effort will be made to ensure that the application is processed as quickly as possible.
