I am pleased to advise the Deputy that the visa application he refers to was granted on 24 May 2023.
The applicant may wish to note that entry into the State is at the discretion of the Immigration Officer at the port of entry. The onus is on the individual concerned to have all documentation relating to their reasons for entering Ireland available for presentation to the Immigration Officer. The Immigration Officer may grant leave to enter to a maximum period of three months or they may, depending on the documentation presented, refuse entry to the state or grant a lesser period than three months.
Any non EU/EEA national who wishes to remain in Ireland for longer than 90 days must register with their local immigration office and apply for further permission to remain, before their initial permission to remain expires. Full details of the registration process can be found at the link below:

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.
