Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Innovation (Deputy Richard Bruton):    My Department processes applications in respect of the different types of employment permits (Green Cards Permits, Work Permits, Spousal/Dependant Permits and Intra-company Transfer Permits).

An appeal in respect of this decision was received in my Department on the 30th March 2011. A decision is expected on this appeal in the next 1-2 weeks.
