Written answers

I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that INIS wrote to the person concerned on 4 October 2016 informing them that, following detailed consideration of the complex circumstances pertaining to their case, it has been decided to grant them, as an exceptional measure, permission to reside in the state for 1 year. The permission is under Stamp 4 conditions which allows the person concerned to reside and work in the State without the need for a work permit.

INIS has informed the person concerned in writing that they are now required to report to the INIS Registration Office, 13/14 Burgh Quay, Dublin 2 to register that permission. I am further informed that INIS have emphasised that attendance at this office is by appointment only. In that regard, the person concerned should see https://burghquayregistrationoffice.inis.gov.ie/ for further information on making an appointment.

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 too long awaited.
