Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 25 June 2026
352. Deputy Donna McGettigan asked the Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration the reason a person (details supplied) can obtain copies of their immigration stamps which were on an old passport and has since been lost, such stamps being needed for a citizenship application, given that they have been refused a statement of reckonable residence by his Department; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [48393/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraI can advise the Deputy that my Department has no record of the person concerned submitting a request for a statement of reckonable residency.
Such statements are usually provided for citizenship applications for minors. If the applicant concerned has not retained copies of any evidence of their previous permissions, Citizenship will be able to access permission details once the person's citizenship application is submitted. A covering letter outlining the applicant’s situation may be of assistance.
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.
