The immigration case of the person referred to by the Deputy is impacted by the European Court of Justice judgment in the Chenchooliah case.

My Department issued the person concerned a Stamp 1 permission letter dated 27 May 2022, which allows them to work without the need for an employment permit. Their longer-term position in the State is expected to be decided on within the period of the short-term permission granted. If this is not possible, the permission will be extended for a further period, on similar conditions, subject to compliance with the original conditions of the short-term permission.

People are required under Section 9(2) (a) of the Immigration Act 2004 to register their permission granted with their local immigration office as soon as possible. I understand that, as of 5 July 2022, the person concerned has not yet attempted to register this permission. They should still be able to renew their permission at their local registration office and should seek to do so immediately.

As they are resident in Dublin, they should do so via the online renewal system for my Department's Burgh Quay Registration Office at: inisonline.jahs.ie/.

Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to my Department by e-mail using the Oireachtas Mail facility (inisoireachtasmail@justice.ie), which has been specifically established for this purpose. This service enables up to date information on such cases to be obtained without the need to seek information by way of the Parliamentary Questions process. The Deputy may consider using the e-mail service except in cases where the response is, in the Deputy’s view, inadequate or too long awaited.
