The Irish government has added several occupations to the Critical Skills Occupations List for Employment Permits for workers from outside the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom and Switzerland following a comprehensive review by the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment. These occupations include: pharmacist, cardiac physiologist, medical scientist, occupational therapists, physiotherapist, podiatrist/chiropodist, psychologist and speech language therapist. Additionally, the quota of General Employment Permits that may be issued for bricklayers and plasterers was removed. Finally, the quota of General Employment Permits that may be issued to Meat Processing Operatives has been increased by 425. These changes open the door for companies to hire more workers from outside the EEA to counteract the skills shortages and pressures on the health, construction and agri-food sectors.
