I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person in question was issued with a letter granting them permission to remain in the State on 15 October 2014. This permission will now regularise this person's former illegal status in the State. His case will be reviewed upon the expiration of this initial permission.
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.
