Dáil Éireann Debate, Monday - 11 September 2017
579. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if he will provide a letter to a person (details supplied) which states that they are seeking asylum here; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [37171/17]
View answerI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that a letter was issued to the person concerned on 11 August 2017 in relation to the renewal of their leave to remain.
Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to the INIS of my Department 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.
