Aengus Ó Snodaigh (Dublin South Central, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I have dealt with the case of a person who applied last February and in the meantime lost a job because the temporary stamp he was on ran out. The quicker we deal with people’s positions, the better. Have we identified issues that would cater for those not captured by the scheme? There are those who are undocumented or do not have a regular status here who may benefit from a similar scheme. There are students who have overstayed their period here and are now undocumented who would not have qualified in this case.

I have previously asked if it has been considered in this scheme that time spent in this country as undocumented would be taken into account when applying for naturalisation or citizenship. I do not think it has been to date.
