Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 21 July 2016
63. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality the procedure to be followed to regularise the residency in the case of a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [24001/16]
View answerI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned was registered in the State under Stamp 1 conditions between 17th May 2002 and 5th March 2003.
I wish to advise the Deputy, however, that the Residence Division of INIS does not currently have any current application for the person before them. Should they wish to regularise their position in the State, then the person concerned should make an application to the Residence Division of INIS setting out the details of their case. Information on application types, qualifying criteria, and required documentation are available on the INIS website.
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 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 Question process. The Deputy may consider using the e-mail service except in questions where the response from INIS is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.
