Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 18 September 2013
1109. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if it is possible to extend the validity of an existing Stamp 4 in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Kildare while awaiting a decision on his application without being conditional as to time; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [38395/13]
View answerI have been informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) that the person referred to by the Deputy, is currently registered with the Garda National Immigration Bureau on Stamp 4 conditions until 3 October 2013. The person has an application for Stamp 5 conditions currently with INIS. A decision will issue on his case very shortly.
Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to 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 INIS is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.
