Irish IT ‘needs foreign workers’

IRELAND’S cloud computing dream will go “up in smoke” say experts, as figures show two in every 10 visa applications for foreign workers are being rejected.

Last year there was more than 3,200 applications made to Irish immigration authorities by services sector companies to allow them to employ people from outside of theEU.

However, around 18% of these applications were rejected and according to VisaFirst.com some of these rejections could have been due incomplete and incorrect applications.
