The record
M. Heffernan Engineering Limited uses employment permits sparingly: 5 issued so far in 2026, enough to show it knows the process without being a volume recruiter from abroad.
Since 2023 the count stands at 22 permits across 4 years. The high point was 2023, with 8. Year to year the figure has stayed within a narrow band, which is the mark of a planned intake rather than a reaction to a shortage.
Permits for M. Heffernan Engineering Limited in 2026 arrived in bursts, 3 months in all, with January the biggest at 3.
