Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 July 2015
481. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the progress to date in determining an application for residency for persons (details supplied) in County Clare; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [29152/15]
View answerI have been informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) that an application was received, for permission to remain in the State, from the person mentioned on 24 June 2015. A request for further information issued to this person on 9 July 2015. When the documents requested on 9 July 2015 are received, this application will then be assessed on its merits. Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to INIS 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 Parliamentary Questions process. The Deputy may consider using the e-mail service except in cases where the response from INIS is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.
