The person referred to in the Deputy's query submitted an application for permanent residence under the European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) (Citizens’ Rights) Regulations 2020, was received by EU Treaty Rights Division on 13 July 2023.

The permanent residence application relates to the person’s claim to have an entitlement to a permanent residence document based on their United Kingdom national family member, as they have been residing together in the State for a continuous period of five years, in compliance with the European Union (Free Movement of Persons) Regulations 2015 and the European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) (Citizens’ Rights) Regulations 2020

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 Division 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 26 October 2024 while their permanent residence application 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.
