Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 28 June 2018
170. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the progress to date in the consideration of an application for permission to remain in the case of a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [28571/18]
View answerI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that correspondence from Unit 2, Residence Division issued to the legal representative of the person concerned on 13 June 2018. The legal representative of the person concerned has indicated that the person concerned intends to submit an application for permission to remain to a different area within INIS.
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.
