Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 23 October 2014
111. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if all documentation requested has been received in respect of application for citizenship in the case of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 24; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [40832/14]
View answerI am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned is not documented on INIS records and there is no application for citizenship for the person concerned.
The Deputy might wish to be aware that the reference number submitted, 69/1666/03 is in relation to the mother of the person concerned, whose case is now being considered by the Removals Section of INIS under Regulation 20 of the European Communities (Free Movement of Persons Regulations) 2006 and 2008. The position remains as outlined in response to PQs Nos. 95-97 of 9th October. With regards to the father of the person concerned, he is a EU national, and is entitled to remain in the State whilst he is exercising his EU Treaty Rights.
Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to the INIS of my Department 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.
