Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 January 2026
707. Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett asked the Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration whether she will agree to grant a visa to a human rights defender from Saudi Arabia (details supplied) who is at risk of deportation from Bulgaria to Saudi Arabia. [3815/26]
View answerSaudi nationals are visa required and must have a valid Irish entry visa before they seek to enter the State. I understand that this individual has not applied for a visa.
Should an application for an Irish visa be made, it will be assessed on its own merits, taking all relevant information into consideration at that time.
Any person that wishes to make a visa application must do so online at:
