IRELAND: Contract for Services Employment Permits (CFS Eps) – Accommodation and Insurance Compliance Under the Employment Permits Act 2024

Recent guidance from Ireland's Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment (DETE) clarifies how accommodation and health insurance obligations must be handled for non-EEA workers assigned to Ireland under the Contract for Services Employment Permit (CFS EP) route. While the underlying statutory requirements are not new, the Department has adopted a more prescriptive interpretation that applies to both new applications and renewals. Organizations using the CFS route should review Ireland-specific policies to ensure continued compliance and avoid delays.
