Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 18 December 2014
312. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality further to Parliamentary Question No. 73 of 20 November 2014, the current and likely residency position in the case of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 24, whose spouse is an EU national and who has three dependent children; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [49405/14]
View answerI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person referred to is an EU National, and is entitled to remain in the State whilst he is exercising his EU Treaty Rights.
The spouse of the above named was granted permission to remain in the State as the spouse of an EU national who was exercising their EU Treaty Rights in this State. This permission was valid until 24th January 2012. This permission was not renewed as the person concerned failed to submit satisfactory evidence of the EU citizen, exercising his EU Treaty Rights in the State for a continuous period of five years. The person concerned was notified of this decision by letter dated 9th July 2012. The matter is now being considered by INIS under Regulation 20 of the European Communities (Free Movement of Persons Regulations) 2006 and 2008. All information and documentation on file will be fully considered in advance of final decisions being made.
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.
