View answerI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that a total of 130 permissions for seafarers were renewed in 2018 under the Atypical Scheme operated by the Irish Naturalisation & Immigration Service.
I am further advised by INIS that since the inception of the Scheme in 2016, to date a total of 246 individuals permissions have been subject to renewal procedures under the provisions of the Scheme.
