The Minister for Justice Charlie Flanagan has announced that immigration permissions due to expire between now and 20 May will be automatically extended for two months.
The registration office in Burgh Quay in Dublin will close for the coming weeks due to the Covid-19 outbreak and anyone with an appointment scheduled there before 20 May will be contacted by Immigration Service Delivery.
These new measures will also apply to immigration registrations and renewals taking place outside of Dublin in local Garda Stations by the local Immigration Officers, which will free up members of An Garda Síochána for other operational duties.
