The person referred to in the Deputy's query requested a review of the decision dated 06 August 2021 to revoke the residence card and permission granted to them under the European Communities (Free Movement of Persons) Regulations 2015, which was received by the Review Unit of the EU Treaty Rights Division on 27 August 2021. The review concerned relates to permission granted arising from the person’s claim to have an entitlement to a derived right of residence based on their Union citizen family member rather than in their own right.

While every effort is made to issue a decision on each application as soon as possible, current processing times may vary having regard to the complexity of the application and the possible need for the EU Treaty Rights Review Unit to seek further information. The person concerned can be assured that there will be no avoidable delay in having their case brought to finality. In the meantime they have been granted a temporary Stamp 4 permission until 13 May 2024 while their review continues to be processed.

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 at: IMoireachtasmail@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.
