Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 5 May 2021
479. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice the steps that can be taken by a person (details supplied) who appears to have been awarded stamp 4 but whose local immigration officer will not affirm the stamp and who requires the same for employment purposes; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [23114/21]
View answerMy Department registers persons residing in the Dublin area only. The Garda National Immigration Bureau (GNIB) processes all applications outside of Dublin through the Garda Station network.
I am informed that the registration of the person concerned was refused by GNIB due to an outstanding matter. Once the matter has been resolved, the person concerned should coordinate with their local immigration office to register their permission.
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 from my Department is, in the Deputy’s view, inadequate or too long awaited.
