I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned has applied for a renewal of right of residency in the State, accompanied by a right to work, based on their parentage of an Irish citizen child. The application was received in the Residence Division on 9 February, 2016 and is under consideration at present.
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.
