Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 13 June 2019
110. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the position regarding the determination of eligibility for stamp 4 status in the case of a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24740/19]
View answerI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned submitted a request on 17 April, 2019 for renewal of their permission to reside in the State on Stamp 5 conditions. INIS wrote to the person concerned on 17 April, 2019 advising that, as of 1 May, 2018, such applications must be made on the prescribed application form and include relevant supporting documentary evidence.
I am further advised that, to date, no further correspondence or application form has been submitted by the person concerned. However, I understand it remains open to the person concerned to submit an application, without delay, to 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 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.
