I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person mentioned by the Deputy should be advised to make an application in writing to INIS giving full details of his or her situation in the State and his or her future intentions.
The Deputy will be aware that queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to the 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.
