The record
7 employment permits in 2026 is a modest count for Protrans Limited, but it is a count: this employer has been through the application and knows what it involves.
Over 4 years since 2023, Protrans Limited has taken 24 employment permits, averaging 6 a year and reaching 9 in 2025. The direction over the last three full years is upward, which usually means a growing operation or a shift towards recruiting abroad by design.
This year's permits came in 4 separate months, busiest in May with 3, which suggests a few distinct rounds of recruitment.
Protrans Limited is the registered name (CRO number 262330): a ltd - private company limited by shares, 29 years on the register. The registered address is Leitrim Cross, Newtownforbes,longford.
What this tells you
They have done it before
Even a handful of permits means Protrans Limited has been through the application and knows the timeline. That is the hard part; the second hire is easier than the first.
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.

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.
