Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 18 January 2023
1148. Deputy Steven Matthews asked the Minister for Justice if an application for an EU3 permanent residence card by a person (details supplied) will be reviewed and expedited; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2155/23]
View answerThe person referred to by the Deputy submitted an application for an EU3 - Permanent Residence card to our EU Treaty Rights Division, which was received on 1 November 2022.
Applications are dealt with in strict chronological order of receipt and decisions are reached on a case by case basis. The EU Treaty Rights Division endeavours to process applications as quickly as possible, however, processing times may vary due to a number of factors, such as the number of applications on hands, individual circumstances, the complexity of an application, whether further information is required.
The person referred to by the Deputy will be contacted in writing as soon as a decision has been reached.
Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to my Department by e-mail using the Oireachtas Mail facility (inisoireachtasmail@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 Questions process. The Deputy may consider using the e-mail service except in cases where the response is, in the Deputy’s view, inadequate or too long awaited.
