Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 18 June 2015
186. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the current position in regard to residency-Stamp 4-eligibility for naturalisation in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Kildare; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [24420/15]
View answerI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned has had their permission to remain in the State renewed for a further two year period to 20th February, 2017. This decision was conveyed in writing to the person concerned by registered post dated 23rd February, 2015. This letter was returned marked "not called for"
The person concerned would appear to have changed address without notifying my Department. The person should now contact my Department in writing providing an up-to-date address.
I am advised by the Citizenship Division of the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) that no application for a Certificate of Naturalisation has been received from the person concerned.
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.
