Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 9 July 2015
157. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the position regarding leave to remain in respect of persons (details supplied) in County Kildare; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [28114/15]
View answerI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned and their dependant child have been granted leave to remain in this State. This decision was conveyed to the person concerned by letter dated 24 February, 2015.
The Deputy will be aware that 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.
