I would refer the Deputy to my response to his Parliamentary Question No. 582 on 11 September 2017. I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the situation remains unchanged.
The Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department have received a request for permission to remain in the State by the person concerned. However, this case is among a number of cases which are currently being held by this Department pending the outcome of the appeal to the Supreme Court of the Court of Appeal judgment in the Luximon v. Minister for Justice and Equality which was heard in the Supreme Court on 30 November 2017. A decision will issue in this case when the matters before the Courts have been finalised.
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.
