What the numbers say
22 permits so far in 2026, against 31 in the whole of 2025.
Permits were issued in 8 of the 9 months published so far, which points to an ongoing hiring programme, not a one-off.
Busiest full year: 2024 with 126 permits. First year on record: 2018.
What this tells you
They know the process
A steady run of permits means Eli Lilly Cork Limited has been through the application more than once and knows what the Department asks for. A candidate does not have to explain the system to them.
How to approach them
Be the easy application
Employers that hire from abroad remember the candidates who arrived with documents in order: certificates, references, a clear licence position. Be that candidate and the permit is the employer's problem, not yours.
The record
The Department's figures show 22 employment permits issued to Eli Lilly Cork Limited in 2026, which places it 209th of 7,732 employers nationally and makes it a regular rather than an occasional user of the system.
The history runs from 2018: 389 permits over 9 years, with 2024 the busiest at 126. Use has fallen over the last three full years, which can mean the roles were filled, the need passed, or hiring moved elsewhere.
The 2026 pattern is spread across the year: permits in 8 of 9 published months, busiest in January (5).

For candidates
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.
