Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 6 November 2014
133. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the current residency status in the case of persons (details supplied) in County Kildare; if arrangements may be made on humanitarian grounds to expedite the process in the wake of a recent tragic experience; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [42694/14]
View answerI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the persons referred to by the Deputy were granted temporary permission to remain in the State, on a stamp 4 basis, on 21 July, 2010. This permission was subsequently renewed with the latest permission granted up to 20th July, 2017.
I should remind the Deputy that queries in relation to the status of individual Immigration cases may be made directly to INIS by Email using the Oireachtas Mail facility which has been specially established for this purpose. The service enables up-to-date information on such cases to be obtained without the need to seek this information through the more administratively expensive Parliamentary questions process.
