I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that contact has been made with the applicant through their solicitor on the 17 April 2018. INIS are now awaiting further information before a final decision can be made on the person's permission 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.
