Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 1 October 2015
147. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the progress, if any, in determining residency status for a person (details supplied) in County Tipperary who is the sibling of an Irish citizen; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [33878/15]
View answerI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) in my Department that no record of an application for a right of residency in the State can be found based on the details supplied by the Deputy.
It is open to this individual to lodge an application for a right of residency in the State, as the dependant of an Irish national.
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 the 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.
