What the numbers say
3 permits so far in 2026, against 3 in the whole of 2025.
Busiest full year: 2022 with 10 permits. First year on record: 2020.
The record
3 employment permits in 2026 is a modest count for Softworks Ltd, but it is a count: this employer has been through the application and knows what it involves.
Softworks Ltd first shows up in the figures in 2020, and across 6 years it has been issued 28 employment permits in all, peaking at 10 in 2022. 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.
This year's permits came in 3 separate months, busiest in May with 1, which suggests a few distinct rounds of recruitment.
Softworks Limited is the registered name (CRO number 163404): a ltd - private company limited by shares, 36 years on the register. The registered address is 111 Main Street, Co. Wicklow., Bray,wicklow.
