Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 8 March 2012
161 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality when stamp 4 will be updated in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Dublin; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13401/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe person in question has been asked to produce certain documentation in relation to his residence in the State. On production of satisfactory documentation, the situation regarding his residence in the State will be fully considered by my officials.
Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to INIS by e-mail using the Oireachtas Mail facility 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 INIS is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.
162 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality when it is expected to update stamp 4 or entitlement to naturalisation status in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Meath; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13402/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe person concerned was granted temporary permission to remain in the State until 3 March 2012. The person concerned was required to apply in writing one month before the end of the expiry period for the renewal of this permission. My Department's records show no evidence of such a renewal application having been made and consequently the person concerned is currently without permission to remain in the State.It is recommended that she should apply for renewal without further delay.
Officials in the Citizenship Division of INIS inform me that there is no record of an application for a certificate of naturalisation from this person. It is open to any individual to lodge an application for citizenship if and when they are in a position to meet the statutory requirements as prescribed in the Irish Nationality and Citizenship Act 1956 as amended.
