Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 14 January 2016
187. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if all documentation requested in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Meath has been received as requested; if eligibility will be favourably considered; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [1780/16]
View answerI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that, in response to a notification pursuant to the provisions of Section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended), written representations have been submitted on behalf of the person concerned.
These representations, together with all other information and documentation on file, will be fully considered, under Section 3(6) of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended) and Section 5 of the Refugee Act 1996 (as amended) on the prohibition of refoulement. This case is currently under consideration and a decision will be conveyed in writing to the person concerned shortly.
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.
