Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 28 April 2022
252. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice the progress that has been made to date in the determination of an application for residency in the case of a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [21531/22]
View answerThe person referred to by the Deputy lodged a review application in respect of their EU Treaty Rights application decision on 28 September 2021. This application is currently under consideration.
Applications are dealt with in strict chronological order, and a decision will issue to the applicant in due course. Although it is not possible at the present time to provide a definitive date by which a decision will be reached in this case, there will be no avoidable delay in completing same. The person concerned will be contacted in writing as soon as a decision has been made.
While every effort is made to process these applications as soon as possible, processing times will vary having regard to the volume of applications received, their complexity, the possible need for my Department to seek further information in relation to certain appeals and the resources available to process them.
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.
