I can confirm to the Deputy that my previous response related to visa required nationals who were applying to travel to the State as the spouse of an Irish national.
As set out on my Department's immigration website, a non-visa required national does not need a visa or preclearance in order to travel to Ireland with their Irish spouse.
If the person concerned does not require a visa to travel to Ireland and currently holds permission to remain in the State, then, they and their Irish national spouse or civil partner may attend at their local immigration office and apply for a permission to remain. They should ensure that they bring all relevant documentation to support the application.
If the person is residing in Dublin, they should register with the Dublin Registration Office and can make an appointment at: burghquayregistrationoffice.inis.gov.ie/.
If they are residing outside of Dublin they should register with their local Garda station. More information can be found at www.garda.ie/en/contact-us/station-directory/.
