Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 20 October 2011
211 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the progress and procedures to date in the determination of residency in the case of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 8; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30711/11]
View answerI am advised by the Immigration and Naturalisation Service (INIS) of my Department that the person referred to by the Deputy no longer has permission to remain in the State and an application for further permission has not been received on their behalf. This person is advised to write to the General Immigration section clearly setting out full details of their case.
I should remind the Deputy that queries in relation to the status of individual Immigration cases may also be made direct to INIS by e-mail using the Oireachtas Mail facility which has been specifically established for this purpose. The service enables up-to-date information on such cases to be obtained without the need to seek this information through the more administratively expensive Parliamentary Questions process.
