Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 12 October 2023
149. Deputy Richard O'Donoghue asked the Minister for Justice if her attention has been drawn to the lack of immigration officers in Limerick (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [44556/23]
View answerAn Garda Síochána has oversight of the registration and renewal of immigration permissions for persons residing outside of the Dublin area. This responsibility rests with local Superintendents or the relevant Detective Superintendent.
The waiting time for appointments outside of Dublin is dependent on the demand for registrations in each office, and fluctuates based on seasonal demands and other variations.
I have asked that the particular issues raised by the Deputy be brought the attention of the Garda Commissioner who has the responsibility for allocation of Garda resources.
