I can inform the Deputy that the information provided in Parliamentary Question 902 of 13 May 2025 relates to the number of people that have been granted permission under section 56 of the 2015 Act.

Statistics on those that arrive in the State to take up residency on the basis of their family reunification permission are not recorded in the manner requested by the Deputy. While the Registration Office within Immigration Service Delivery (ISD) of my Department record each individual immigration permission with the category of the stamp being granted, differentiation and sub-totals within each stamp category are not recorded in a manner that allows the information requested to be easily extracted.
