I propose to take Questions Nos. 101 and 102 together.

The Employment Permits Section of my Department informs me that General Employment Permit applications in respect of both individuals (in the details supplied) were received on 17/11/2022. Separate requests for further information in relation to these applications issued from my Department on 29/11/2022. The applicant has been granted 28 days from this date to provide the information requested. As soon as a response to these requests is received a decision will be made regarding the applications.
