Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 17 September 2014
605. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the procedure to be followed to update Stamp 3 to Stamp 4 in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Carlow; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [33597/14]
View answerI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person referred to with the reference number provided by the Deputy first registered with the Garda National Immigration Bureau on Stamp 3 conditions on 06 March 2013 as the dependent of a worker in the State. This permission has been renewed and is valid up to 23 August 2015. As far as INIS can tell, this person is on the appropriate permission for their circumstances. If their circumstances change, they may make an application for a change in their immigration permission to INIS.
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.
