Written answers
The person referred to by the Deputy submitted an application for a Permanent Residence card to the EU Treaty Rights Unit of the Immigration Service of my Department on 6 February 2020.
Processing of this application is ongoing at present. As each application is examined under its own merits, I am unable to give an exact timeframe for its completion. However, there will be no avoidable delay in finalising the application and the person concerned will be contacted in writing as that time.
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 (inisoireachtasmail@justice.ie), 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.
