What this data shows
This counts employment permits granted to Dominican Republicnationals across every permit type: Critical Skills, General Employment, Intra-Company Transfer, and the rest. It doesn’t include people who moved to Ireland through other visa routes (study, family reunification, international protection), and it only reflects permits that were granted, not applications refused or withdrawn. It’s a proxy for how many Dominican Republic citizens are entering the Irish labour market through employer sponsorship specifically, not overall migration from Dominican Republic.
