Folks, I've tried searching the forum for an answer to this but wasn't able to find relevant results.
Short story for context: I'm Canadian and my spouse is Irish, we flew into DUB late 2019 with our marriage cert and declared our intent to stay; we hit up Burgh Quay and I was issued a 3-year IRP (stamp 4). Went back to Canada to wrap things up but after some unexpected medical issues + a pandemic, we were unable to complete our move to Ireland. Around 2021 we moved to Belfast and have lived there since. My stamp 4 IRP expired in 2022 and I naively didn't think to inform INIS that we left the country. Now we're looking to move to the republic and I'm trying to figure out my next steps.
Question: has anyone been in a similar situation with a long-expired stamp 4 IRP (based on Irish spouse)? Was there a way to renew the IRP after expiry or is the best approach to re-do a "landing" at DUB airport with our marriage cert and try to get a new IRP at Burgh Quay?
