109. Deputy Seán Ó Fearghaíl asked the Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration If he will expedite a decision on an appeal against the refusal of a residence card application for a person (details supplied). [67304/26]

The person referred to in the Deputy's query requested a review of the decision to refuse their application for Permanent Residence under the European Communities (Free Movement of Persons) Regulations 2015, which was received by the Review Unit of the EU Treaty Rights Division on 24 March 2026.

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 and the possible need for the EU Treaty Rights Review Unit to seek further information. The person concerned can be assured that there will be no avoidable delay in having their case brought to finality. In the meantime they were granted a temporary permission on 22 September 2026.

The person concerned can now directly check the status of their immigration application on the Immigration Service’s new Digital Contact Centre (DCC). They can register for, or log in to their existing account, at: portal.irishimmigration.ie/en/

As an Oireachtas member, you 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.
