No plans for further immigration permission extension after May
Since the beginning of the pandemic Minister McEntee has announced nine temporary extensions of immigration and international protection permissions.
This temporary permission means that people who held a valid permission to be in the State in March 2020 are legally permitted to remain until 31 May 2022 even if their Irish Residence Permit (IRP) card has expired and they are awaiting a new one. At this time, according a Notice for Employers published by the Department of Justice on 23 May, there are no plans to issue an extension beyond 31 May 2022. Those covered by the extension are entitled to remain, reside and work in the State if their previously granted permission allowed them to do so.
