Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 18 September 2013
1030. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the progress to date in respect of determination of an application for permission to remain in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Dublin; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [37164/13]
View answerI refer the Deputy to my replies to Dáil Questions No.1235 of 18 September 2012 and No. 660 of 11 June 2013 relating to the person referred to by the Deputy. The person mentioned by the Deputy was first registered in the State as a student on 22 March 2007. Her permission to remain here expired on 26 March 2013 and she no longer has permission to be in the State. The person made an application to INIS on 8 July 2013 seeking permission to remain in the State. A response will issue 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.
