Hostel guilty of hiring director with no valid permit to work in Ireland

A Dublin city centre hostel has been spared a criminal conviction for employing a non-national as a director when he did not have a valid permit to work in Ireland.

Parkgate Lounge Ltd, with a registered address at Talbot Street, trading as The Abbot Lodge, pleaded guilty at Dublin District Court to breaching the Employment Permit Act and the Organisation of Working Time Act.
