Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 1 December 2016
128. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality the procedure to be followed to update stamp 4 in the case of a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [38205/16]
View answerI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned was granted permission to remain in the State, on a stamp 4 basis, on 6 July, 1999. This permission was subsequently renewed with the latest permission granted up to 26 November, 2016.
To obtain a certificate of registration, they must present at their local immigration office. If they live in the Dublin metropolitan region, they must present at the Burgh Quay Registration Office, 13/14 Burgh Quay, Dublin 2. Attendance is by appointment only. Appointments can be made via the INIS website at https://burghquayregistrationoffice.inis.gov.ie/.
The Deputy will be aware that 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.
