Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 27 February 2014
198. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if, in the context of consideration of his application for update of stamp 4-permission to remain, consideration will be given to his deteriorating health condition in the case of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 7; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10156/14]
View answerI am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person mentioned by the Deputy has permission to remain in the State on Stamp 4. His current permission is due to expire on 17 June 2014. This permission can be renewed by the Garda National Immigration Bureau and he should present himself to his local Immigration Officer in advance of his current permission to remain expiring in order to apply to have it renewed.
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.
