Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 23 October 2014
118. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the position regarding residency status, stamp 4 or eligibility for naturalisation in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Tipperary; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [40839/14]
View answerI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person mentioned by the Deputy was only registered in the State from 08/08/2003 to 22/06/2004 and has remained in the State without permission since that time. The person concerned should now be advised to present themselves to their local immigration officer.
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 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.
