Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 18 September 2013
1009. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if he will facilitate the extension of a stamp 3 visa in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Dublin; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [37054/13]
View answerI refer the Deputy to my response to Dáil Question No 200 of 24 April 2013. I have been informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration service (INIS) that the person referred to by the Deputy currently has a De Facto application pending with INIS. A decision will issue on her case in the coming weeks. 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 or too long awaited.
