Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 27 February 2014
189. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if the decision to revoke permission to remain in the State under EU treaty rights in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Kildare will be reversed given her current status and marriage to an EU citizen; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10147/14]
View answerI am informed by officials in the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service that the derived right of residence granted to the person in question under EU Treaty Rights as the spouse of an EU National was revoked on 17 May, 2013 on the grounds that her EU citizen spouse had departed the State in June 2012. The person concerned submitted a request for a review of this decision which was received in EU Treaty Rights Review Unit on 05 June, 2013. The request for a review remains under consideration and EU Treaty Rights Review Unit will be in contact with the person in question in due course.
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.
