What this tells you
A gap filled from abroad
A small count usually means a specific skill that could not be found locally. If that is your skill, this employer already knows the route to you.
How to approach them
Time it to the rhythm
This year Lir Restaurants Limited's permits peaked in April. Hiring rounds tend to repeat, so an application a couple of months ahead of that lands when the decision is being made.

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.
