Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 16 January 2014
253. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if eligibility for long-term residency and eligibility for naturalisation will be considered on the basis of the Zambrano judgement in the case of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 15; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2141/14]
View answerI refer the Deputy to my reply below to Parliamentary Question No. 53527/13 of the 12th December, 2013 which is set as follows. The position remains unchanged.
I wish to inform the Deputy that the person referred to has no entitlement to residency or leave to remain.
As outlined in previous Dail replies in this matter the person referred to has no application pending for residency. The person concerned was granted permission to remain for a period of five years on 12th January, 2010 on the basis of being the spouse of an EU citizen, who was residing in the State and was exercising his EU Treaty Rights.
The grounds under which she was granted permission to remain in the State no longer apply, as her EU spouse is no longer residing in this State. Therefore, the permission to remain which was granted under the provisions of Directive 2004/38/EC and European Communities (Free Movement of Persons) Regulations 2006 and 2008 has now been revoked. The person concerned was notified of this decision on 6th October, 2011.
Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to the INIS by Email 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.
