Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 18 June 2026
409. Deputy Donna McGettigan asked the Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration the position regarding an ongoing immigration review (details supplied); the reasons for the delay in the case and lack of a determination; the implications of prolonged uncertainty for an Irish citizen child and her primary carer; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [46480/26]
View answerI can inform the Deputy that the application cited is with the EU Treaty Rights Division of my Department for consideration.
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. The applicant concerned can be assured that there will be no avoidable delay in having their case brought to finality.
It is also open to the person cited to submit an application on the basis of the parentage of an Irish Citizen child. This can be done whilst they await an outcome in respect of their review. Details of submitting an application on this basis can be found at www.irishimmigration.ie/my-situation-has-changed-since-i-arrived-in-ireland/the-parent-of-an-irish-citizen-child/ .
Customers can directly check the status of their immigration application on the Immigration Service’s Customer Service Portal. They can register for, or log in to their existing account, at www.portal.irishimmigration.ie/en/ .
As an Oireachtas member, the Deputy can also request the status of individual immigration cases 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 Question process.
