Long term residency after 5 years of green card and stamp 4

[JohnCat]

Hello,

I've been in Ireland for 5 years now. 2 on a green card permit, and 3 on stamp 4. I was checking the requirements for applying for LTR and found this:

Applications for Long Term Residency cannot be accepted from persons listed in the following categories:
...
The applicant holds only Green Card (Employment) permits. Once the Immigration, Residence and Protection Bill 2008 has been enacted, Green Card (Employment) Permit holders will be eligible to make direct application to the Minister for Justice and Equality for consideration for Long Term Residency.

Does this really mean I cannot apply? Did anyone in a similar situation try? I can't find any info on the web. I doubt the immigration bill will ever be enacted. I've already applied for naturalisation by the way.

Its only people that have work permit for 5 years are eligible to apply for LTR as far as I know.

You are eligible to apply for naturalisation, and have already applied for it. So there is nothing to worry about
