On the 6th March 2019, Heather Humphreys TD, Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation, and
Charlie Flanagan TD, Minister for Justice and Equality, announced changes to immigration arrangements
for spouses and partners of Critical Skills Employment Permit (CSEP) holders and Researchers under a
Hosting Agreement as provided for under the EU Third Country Researchers Directive (Council Directive
2005/71/EC).

These changes allow for spouses and partners of CSEP holders and Researchers under Hosting
Agreements to access the labour market without the need for an employment permit. These changes take
immediate effect.

The Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of the Department of Justice and Equality will
grant eligible spouses and partners of CSEP holders and Researchers under Hosting Agreements
permission to reside in this State on Stamp 1G Conditions without the need to obtain a
Dependant/Partner/Spouse Employment Permit from the Department of Enterprise, Trade and
Employment. This means that eligible spouses and partners of CSEP holders and Researchers under
Hosting Agreements may access the labour market when they receive this Stamp 1G, and no longer need
to obtain a Dependant/Partner/Spouse Employment Permit.

An eligible Dependant of a CSEP Holder or Researcher under a Hosting Agreement still requires an
Employment Permit to work in the State. Further information is available at the following link:

Construction sector roles covered by Sectoral

Employment Order
Sectoral Employment Orders (SEO) covering rates of pay, sick pay, and pensions for
workers in certain sectors were signed into law on foot of recommendations from the
Labour Court. The SEOs place a legally binding floor on rates of pay and obligations in
the relevant sectors, including the Construction sector, regarding employment in the
State.

There are two criteria that determine who is covered; the employer must operate in the
construction sector, and the employee must work in the sector and fall under one of the
defined classes or roles. Further information is available on the Workplace Relations
Commission website - Construction Sector - Workplace Relations Commission
