Peadar Tóibín

Question:

223. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration the number of persons on expired visas who have sought asylum in the State for the past five years, by visa category. [10613/26]

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Justice, Home Affairs and Migration

It is a central priority for myself and Minister O'Callaghan that our international protection and immigration systems are robust and enforced.

Data on the number of people that applied for international protection in each of the past five years after their visa expired is not available. While this information is recorded as part of an individual application for protection, this data is not managed in a format that would make it readily accessible.
