Work permits for accountants to support economic growth

Chartered Accountants Ireland: 'We are working with government to reduce the required Critical Skills Employment Permits application processing times'

Chartered Accountants Ireland elects new board leaders: Barry Doyle, vice president; Pat O’Neill, president; and Sinead Donovan, deputy president.

Ireland needs to accelerate work permit processing times to bring in overseas accountants to underpin the nation's economic growth, says Pat O’Neill, newly appointed president of Chartered Accountants Ireland.

Mr O’Neill said that, as a growing economy, if we cannot source sufficient accounting capacity from homegrown talent, we must ensure we attract the required talent into the country from elsewhere.
