The Irish Naturalisation & Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department advises me that following receipt of an application for a Reactivation Employment Permit Permission, a temporary residence permission was granted to the person concerned effective from 19th March, 2015 to allow for them to then apply to the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation for the new Employment Permit type, the “Reactivation Employment Permit” which would permit them to work in the State.
The person concerned is currently registered with the Garda National Immigration Bureau on that basis under Stamp 1 conditions valid until 24th November, 2015 specifically to allow them make an application for a "Reactivation Employment Permit" to the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation. This is the appropriate immigration stamp for the person to hold to allow for them to re-enter the work force which does not require the issuing of a Stamp 4.
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.
