Does anyone have any experience of obtaining work permits? I see that Clerical and Administrative positions are ineligible - I am looking for suggestions as to alternative but closely linked category to submit under.
Occupations that are currently ineligible for work permits (after April, 2004)
The Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment, following consultation with FÁS, will announce, on a quarterly basis, occupational sectors that are considered ineligible for work permits. Note - the following list has not changed since April, 2004 and remains in force until further announcements by the Department.
These occupations are:
<!--EZCODE LIST START--><ul><li>Clerical and administrative staff</li><li>General labourers and builders</li><li>Operator and production staff</li><li>Sales Staff (including retail sales, sales representatives and Management/Supervisory/ Specialist Sales)</li><li>Transport staff, including drivers - bus, coach, car, taxi, fork lift, (excluding international HGV and articulated drivers) - international.</li><li>Child care workers, including nursery/crèche workers, child minders/nannies</li><li>Hotel, tourism and catering reception staff and barpersons</li><li>Craft workers and apprentice/trainee craft workers, including bookbinders, bricklayers, cabinet makers, carpenters/joiners, carton makers, fitters - construction plant, electricians, instrumentation craftspeople, fitters, tilers - floor/wall, mechanics - heavy vehicles, metal fabricators, mechanics - motor, originators, painters and decorators, plumbers, printers, engineers - refrigeration, sheet metal workers, tool makers, vehicle body repairers, machinists - wood (excluding plasterers and aircraft mechanic/engineers)</li></ul><!--EZCODE LIST END-->
Either the bureaucrats in ETE were morons and could not establish that she possessed skills unavailable throughout the EU from her CV or your friend committed fraud by altering the facts.<!--EZCODE BR START--><!--EZCODE BR END--><!--EZCODE BR START--><!--EZCODE BR END-->Your comment about Irish and their emmigration to America is of interest. Do you refer to the late 19th / early 20th century? Or the Morrison and Donnelly visas? Are you suggesting that Ireland should confer citizenship on any American that applies?<snip><!--EZCODE BR START--><!--EZCODE BR END--><!--EZCODE BR START--><!--EZCODE BR END-->adapted the description of her experience and qualifications<!--EZCODE BR START--><!--EZCODE BR END--><!--EZCODE BR START--><!--EZCODE BR END--></snip>
That would depend on whether the description was still accurate, post-alteration.your friend committed fraud by altering the facts
That is not possible. The law, which many choose to disregard when it suits, only provides for work permits to be issued to employers. Not Jane Bloggs. So the position requirements would need amending to suit the CV of the applicant. And had the law been followed, the requirements would be well-known prior to the non-EUer applying.<!--EZCODE BR START--><!--EZCODE BR END--><!--EZCODE BR START--><!--EZCODE BR END-->Fraud?
