Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 29 November 2016
131. Deputy John Brassil asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality if she will investigate and allow for stamp 4 permission to be granted to a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [37644/16]
View answerI am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that an application on behalf of the person mentioned was only received on 08 November, 2016. I understand that this application is currently receiving attention.
The Deputy may wish to note that 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 Parliamentary Question process. The Deputy may consider using the e-mail service except in cases where the response from INIS is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.
