Chenchooliah Stamp 1 Reckonable Residence

[Mrvbr]

My situation is as follows:

- I previously held a Stamp 4 EUFam permission as the family member of an EU citizen.
- Following a change in personal circumstances (divorce), my Stamp 4 EUFam permission was discontinued.
- I subsequently applied for retention of rights under Regulation 10. (Stamp 4 EUFam)

Interim / Pending Period:
- During the processing of my application, I remained legally present in the State for approximately 10 months without a stamp and a physical IRP card, as my case was under active consideration by the Department.
- I did not leave the State during this period and continued to work full-time as a lead engineer.

Current Status:
- I have now been granted a temporary Stamp 1 permission under the Chenchooliah framework, pending a final decision on my long-term status.

---

Clarification Requested:

1. Whether my current temporary Stamp 1 Chenchooliah (without the requirement to obtain an Employement Permit) permission is considered reckonable residence for the purpose of Irish citizenship.

2. Whether the 10-month pending period, during which:
- I remained continuously resident in the State,
- my status was under active consideration by the Department, and
- I was employed full-time,

can be considered reckonable residence, despite not holding a physical permission card during that time.
