Undocumented or person illegally present in the State without a valid immigration Permission
The Minister for Justice and Equality has made the following statements in 2020 regarding undocumented or persons illegally present in the Irish State without valid immigration permission:
“The Immigration Service Delivery function of my Department examines each case of an undocumented or illegal person in the State on a case-by-case basis and has consistently urged anyone in this position to come forward if they wish to apply to regularise their position in the State. A pragmatic approach is taken in relation to each case, which is considered on its individual merits”.
“In all cases, people must engage with the authorities if they wish to be permitted to remain here legally. I would encourage any person who is resident in the State without permission to contact my Department or their local immigration office and to take all appropriate steps to regularise their own and their family’s status”.
