Source, period and methodology
Published period: February 2022. This is a year-to-date or partial-year view based on the manifest-approved source period.
Latest import: 1 Oct 2026. Freshness: available. Source last modified 1 Dec 2025.
Official source: DETE employment permit statistics and methodology. Records may be revised between source publications.
Figures are historical issued-permit records showing past activity only. They do not prove current hiring, future sponsorship, role eligibility, or approval.
Based on official Department of Enterprise, Tourism and Employment (DETE) employment permit data for February 2022. Monthly employer and sector figures use the corresponding DETE month column.
DETE may revise prior-month counts in subsequent publications. Previous monthly snapshots on IrishTalents used the earlier figure. Legal entity names in DETE files may differ from consumer-facing brand names.
Historical employment permit activity does not guarantee current vacancies, future sponsorship, role eligibility, or permit approval. Employment permits are not the same as job vacancies, job offers, or visa approvals.
