Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 15 November 2012
189. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the position and future prospects in respect of persons (details supplied) in Dublin 1 who have studied and worked in this jurisdiction over the past six years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [50809/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) that the person referred to by the Deputy was registered in the State on student conditions from 9 October 2006 to 14 August 2012 and therefore currently has no permission to remain in the State.
The INIS have informed me that the person has made a written request for further permission to remain dated 2 November, 2012. This application is under consideration. All requests are dealt with in chronological order and my officials will be in touch with the person concerned in due course.
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.
