Dáil Éireann Debate, Friday - 16 September 2016
68. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality the current position in respect of residency status in the case of a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [24885/16]
View answerI am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that there is no record of the person concerned. In the circumstances, I would suggest that the person make an application for residency and give full details of their current circumstances in the State to enable a decision to be made in her case.
Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to the INIS 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 long awaited.
