What the numbers say
Carton Brothers Unlimited Company has already used more permits in 2026 (40) than in the whole of 2025 (35).

The record
For Carton Brothers Unlimited Company, the employment permit is a working tool rather than a one-off: 40 permits in 2026 to date, 99th of 7,732 Irish employers this year.
This is not a new relationship with the permit system: Carton Brothers Unlimited Company goes back to 2021 in the figures, 445 permits later, with its biggest year 2024 at 250. Use has fallen over the last three full years, which can mean the roles were filled, the need passed, or hiring moved elsewhere.
This year's permits came in 4 separate months, busiest in September with 32, which suggests a few distinct rounds of recruitment.
What this tells you
A working relationship with the permit system
Carton Brothers Unlimited Company takes permits most years, which is the profile of an employer that recruits from abroad when a role cannot be filled locally and has the paperwork down.
How to approach them
Time it to the rhythm
This year Carton Brothers Unlimited Company's permits peaked in September. Hiring rounds tend to repeat, so an application a couple of months ahead of that lands when the decision is being made.

What you need to work here
- A job offer and a contract of employment signed by you and the employer before anything is submitted. Applications must reach the Department at least 12 weeks before the start date.
- The right permit for the job. Most trades and driving roles go through a General Employment Permit, which is issued for 2 years and can be renewed. Roles on the Critical Skills list use a Critical Skills Employment Permit.
- Pay at or above the minimum for the permit. For a General Employment Permit the Department currently lists it as generally EUR 36,605 a year, with lower figures for meat processing, horticulture, healthcare assistants and home support. Check the official figure for your role before you rely on it.
