Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 26 September 2013
203. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if he will review the case of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 6 who has previously had residency status based on spousal or personal work permit; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [40348/13]
View answerI am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) that an application for Long Term Residency has been received from the person referred to by the Deputy. This application is being processed with a view to establishing whether the applicant meets the requirements such as good character and lawful residence and will be processed further when these checks are completed.
The Deputy may wish to note that 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 established specifically 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.
