Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 27 June 2013
203. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the position regarding residency in the case of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 6; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [31276/13]
View answerI am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) that the person concerned is currently registered in the State under Stamp 2 student conditions valid until 30/09/2013 which is renewable directly with their local immigration officer shortly before its expiry date. An application for residency in the State under Stamp 4 conditions on the basis of family dependency of an Irish national arising from their parent's naturalisation was recently considered by INIS. This application was refused on 14 May 2013 because the person concerned failed to fully provide all the documentation requested by INIS despite having been requested on several occasions to supply the required documentation. A new application for residency in the State under Stamp 4 conditions on the basis of family dependency of an Irish national was received on 25/06/2013 and is currently under consideration.
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 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 of too long awaited.
