Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 January 2024
432. Deputy Jim O'Callaghan asked the Minister for Justice the number of cases that the Garda National Immigration Bureau dealt with in 2023, in tabular form; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [2504/24]
View answerI understand that the Deputy is enquiring about the number of immigration permissions registered by my Department's Registration Office in Burgh Quay. The Registration Office is responsible for registering and renewing immigration permissions for customers residing in the Dublin area only. Registrations and renewals for persons resident outside of the Dublin area are processed by the Garda National Immigration Bureau (GNIB) through the Garda Station network.
In 2023, 190,045 Irish immigration residence permissions were registered in Dublin. Of these, 69,652 were to first time applicants and 120,393 were renewals.
