Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 20 January 2022
268. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice the current and or expected residency status in the case of a person (details supplied); if the case is being considered in the context of another case; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [2721/22]
View answerThe immigration case of the person concerned is impacted by the European Court of Justice (ECJ) judgment in the Chenchooliah case.
A short-term permission on Stamp 1 conditions, which allows them to work without the need for an employment permit, was issued by my Department on 26 November 2021 to the person concerned. This permission is valid to 27 May 2022. Their longer-term position in the State is expected to be decided on within the period of the short-term permission granted. If this is not possible, the permission will be extended for a further period, on similar conditions, subject to compliance with the original conditions of the short-term 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 is, in the Deputy’s view, inadequate or too long awaited.
