Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 3 December 2020
315. Deputy Jackie Cahill asked the Minister for Justice if a temporary visa will be issued to a person (details supplied) while they await the finalisation of the Chenchooliah ruling; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [40987/20]
View answerAs a person who was accepted as being a family member of an EU citizen who was exercising EU Treaty Rights in the State, the immigration case of the person concerned falls within the parameters of the European Court of Justice Ruling in the Chenchooliah case. In light of that situation, the Immigration Service of my Department has been engaging with the person concerned with a view to having their case progressed. This will continue until the case has been finalised.
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.
