Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 June 2026
544. Deputy Colm Burke asked the Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration the status of an Irish residency permit renewal application (details supplied); when the permit will be processed given that the application is pending for over 11-weeks; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [47733/26]
View answerI can advise the Deputy that the person cited has an application for permission to remain in the State as a Minister of Religion with the Domestic Residence and Permissions (DRP) division of my Department, and this application continues to be processed.
All applications are processed in chronological order of receipt. The person concerned can be assured that there will be no avoidable delay in finalising their application and will be contacted as soon as a decision has been reached.
Prior to submitting an online renewal application on the Immigration Service Delivery (ISD) https://inisonline.jahs.ie/user/login, the applicant cited requires a letter from DRP granting them permission to remain as a Minister of Religion. This letter should be supplied when submitting an online renewal application.
Further information on the renewal process as well as the list of documents required for each stamp type are available on the ISD website at the following link:www.irishimmigration.ie/registering-your-immigration-permission/how-to-register-your-immigration-permission-for-the-first-time/required-documents/
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.
