Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 3 November 2015
533. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the current status in determining residency on the basis of the Zambrano judgment in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Cork; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [37342/15]
View answerI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned was granted permission to remain in the State, on a Stamp 4 basis, until October, 2018 on the basis of her parentage of an Irish citizen child. This decision was conveyed in writing to the person concerned by letter dated 28 October, 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.
