Thousands of people living and working in Ireland are facing serious uncertainty due to long delays in IRP renewals and the issuance of new work permits. Despite applying on time, many are still waiting months for decisions, leaving their lives on hold.
Healthcare workers, essential staff, and other professionals are among the worst affected. Some are unsure if they can legally continue working. Others are unable to travel to see their families, fearing they may not be allowed back into the country. For many families, this delay has brought anxiety, financial stress, and emotional strain.
People say the lack of clear communication has made the situation harder. Even those who have followed every rule are left without answers or timelines, unsure of their legal status day to day.
In response, Kranthi has launched a public campaign calling on the Irish government to act immediately. The campaign demands faster processing, temporary protections for applicants, and clear assurances for those waiting.
Kranthi is urging the public to support the cause by signing and sharing a petition, hoping collective voices will push authorities to address what many see as an urgent and unjust situation.
