Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 8 December 2020
508. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Justice the number of registrations Kildare Garda National Immigration Bureau is processing each week; the average waiting time for an appointment; the current backlog in registrations for the Kildare office; and the opening hours of the office. [41402/20]
View answerThe management and administration of the Immigration Office in Kildare is the responsibility of An Garda Síochána. However, in order to be of assistance to the Deputy, I have made inquiries with the Commissioner and received the following update.
The Immigration Office in Kildare Garda Station administers immigration registrations for persons living in the Kildare, Newbridge, Athy, Rathangan and Monasterevin areas.
The office currently processes between 30 and 40 applications per week. The current wait time for an appointment is between 7 and 10 days.
I am advised that there is no backlog in registrations for the Kildare office and the office is open between 9 am and 7.30 pm Monday to Friday.
