10 employers with the highest recorded DETE employment permit activity.
Top 10 counties by issued permits through December 2025, with refused counts for context.
Monthly nationality breakdowns are not yet available from official DETE files; this is YTD January–December 2025, not a monthly nationality ranking.
We will send the newest monthly permit snapshot when DETE publishes fresh data, with employer, sector, county and nationality context.
Published period: December 2025. This is a year-to-date or partial-year view based on the manifest-approved source period.
Latest import: 6 Jul 2026. Freshness: available. Source last modified 2 May 2026.
Official source: DETE employment permit statistics and methodology. Issued-permit records are historical signals and may be revised; they do not prove a live vacancy, current sponsorship, job offer, eligibility, or approval.
Based on official Department of Enterprise, Tourism and Employment (DETE) employment permit data for December 2025. 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.
