Written answers

The person referred to by the Deputy availed of the option of Voluntary Return to their country of origin before a final decision was made on their case to remain in the State. Having exercised this option, it leaves it open for the person concerned to explore legal pathways to return to this State at a future date should they establish a valid basis for doing so.

Information on the various types of immigration permission can be accessed via the following website link: www.inis.gov.ie/en/INIS/Pages/immigration-permissions.

Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to 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 is, in the Deputy’s view, inadequate or too long awaited.
