Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 April 2013
915. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if the determination of residency status in the case of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 7 can be decided on humanitarian grounds; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16937/13]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service that the person referred to by the Deputy entered the State as a student in 2005. His current permission to remain in the State is due to expire on 26 April 2013. A full and favourable consideration will now be made on the humanitarian merits of his case.
Queries on 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.
