Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 7 December 2016
280. Deputy Frank O'Rourke asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation the number of work permits that were refused on application and refused on appeal that were subsequently allowed by her; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [38983/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraWhere an employment permit application is refused, it is open to an applicant to submit a request for a review to be conducted. Under the provisions of the legislation, a decision made under review is final and cannot be revisited.
If the conditions that gave rise to the refusal in the first instance change thereafter, it is open to an applicant to submit a new employment permit application for consideration. It is not possible to ascertain the number of applications of this nature.
