Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 23 May 2013
173. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the extent to which the full appraisal of application for residency/naturalisation has been undertaken to date in respect of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 11; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24992/13]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Deputy will be aware, from previous Dáil replies in this matter, that the person referred to by the Deputy has no application pending for residency. The person concerned was granted permission to remain for a period of five years on 12 January, 2010 on the basis of being the spouse of an EU citizen, who was residing in the State and was exercising his EU Treaty Rights. The grounds under which she was granted permission to remain in the State no longer apply, as her EU spouse is no longer residing in this State. Therefore, the permission to remain which was granted under the provisions of Directive 2004/38/EC and European Communities (Free Movement of Persons) Regulations 2006 and 2008 has now been revoked. The person concerned was notified of this decision on 6 October 2011. Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to the 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 the INIS is, in the Deputy’s view, inadequate or too long awaited.
