2487. Deputy Paul Lawless asked the Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration the current status of a stamp 4 immigration permission renewal application for a person (details supplied); the reason for any delay in processing the application; when a decision is expected to issue; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [62716/26]

The person referred to by the Deputy applied to renew their immigration permission on 20 July 2026 and this application is currently in the queue for consideration.

I understand that the extended wait times can be frustrating for applicants and I can assure the Deputy that my Department is exploring every avenue available to facilitate as many customers as possible and to increase processing capacity.

The Registration Office within Immigration Service Delivery of my Department is already open seven days a week to facilitate customers, with further measures to reduce processing times currently being implemented. Additional staff have been assigned to this work and further assignments are being examined.

The Registration Office provide a live application processing date broken down by stamp category, which is updated every Monday, and is available at the following link: www.irishimmigration.ie/registering-your-immigration-permission/how-to-renew-your-current-permission/renewing-your-registration-permission-if-you-live-in-the-republic-of-ireland

When an online renewal application or first time registration is successfully processed, the applicant can typically expect to receive their new IRP card within the following 10-15 working days.

The person concerned can now 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: https://portal.irishimmigration.ie/en/
