Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 25 September 2014
138. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if she will facilitate the updating of a work permit in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Tipperary; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [36414/14]
View answerI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person referred to by the Deputy arrived in the State on 02/07/2003 on an employment permit which expired 22/06/2004 and would appear to have remained here without the appropriate permission. The issuing of Employment Permits is a matter for the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation.
If the Deputy has a query in relation to the status of Immigration cases he may make them 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 the way of Parliamentary Questions.
