Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 13 June 2013
119. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the progress made to date in the determination of an application for renewal of residency status in the case of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 24; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [28414/13]
View answerThe person concerned was granted a right of residency in the State in June, 2005, based on her parentage of an Irish born minor citizen child, born in the State before 1 January, 2005. This permission was subsequently renewed and the person concerned, through her legal representative, has applied for a further renewal of that permission.
Given that doubts exist as to the true identity and nationality of the person concerned, a representative of the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service has, in recent days, written to the person concerned requesting the submission of certain items of documentation and information. Upon receipt of the requested documentation and information, the position in the State of the person concerned will be further considered.
Queries in relation to the status of individual Immigration cases may be made directly to the INIS by e-mail using the Oireachtas Mail facility which has been specifically established for this purpose. This service enables up-to-date information on such cases to be obtained without the need to seek this information by way of the Parliamentary Questions process. The Deputy may consider using the e-mail service except in cases where the response from the INIS is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.
