Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 15 June 2021
1103. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice the progress to date in the determination of an application for residency status in the case of a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [30645/21]
View answerI can advise the Deputy that the person concerned has permission to remain in the State, on immigration stamp 1 conditions, without a requirement to obtain an employment permit, up to 20 September 2021. This is as a result of the temporary extensions of permissions that have been introduced due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The automatic extension of permission is on the same basis as the person’s existing permission and the same conditions attach.
The person concerned has also lodged a formal application for renewal of permission to remain. This application will be processed to completion in due course.
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.
