An Irish Residence Permit card ( IRP card ) is normally issued following the successful registration or renewal of an applicants immigration permission.
The below table details the number of IRP cards issued nationwide for the period January 2022 and to end of May 2023.
It should be noted that not all registrations result in the issuing of an IRP card, and some cards are issued more than once for various reasons, such as lost or stolen cards and an additional small number will issue for testing/sampling purposes.
