Dáil Éireann Debate, Friday - 16 September 2016
115. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality the current and expected position in respect of residency status in the case of a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [25148/16]
View answerI have been informed by the Irish Naturalisation & Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that a letter issued to the person concerned on 22 August 2016 requesting further documentation in relation to their application for residency in the State. A reply is awaited.
Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to INIS by email 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 email service except in cases where the response from INIS is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.
