Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 April 2024
457. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice the procedure to be followed to regularise their status in the case of a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [17931/24]
View answerI can advise the Deputy that the persons referred to be the Deputy were granted Temporary Protection (TP) on 05 April 2022.
The Temporary Protection Certificate (TPC) issued to all Beneficiaries of Temporary Protection (BoTP) is a temporary permission to remain in Ireland and is renewable on an annual basis, as long as the Temporary Protection Directive (TPD) remains in force. Beneficiaries of Temporary Protection are granted access to the labour market and to Government supports, as required under the Directive.
The TPD has been extended until March 2025. Ireland favours a harmonised, EU-wide approach to exiting TP and continues to engage with the EU Commission and fellow member states to consider what provisions will be made for beneficiaries of TP, and how this might relate to immigration arrangements and schemes generally, when the Directive is no longer active.
