Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 3 October 2013
193. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the progress to date in the determination of eligibility for residency/naturalisation in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Limerick; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [41747/13]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person referred to is the subject of a Deportation Order and therefore has no right to residency/naturalisation in the State. The Deportation Order was made following a comprehensive and thorough examination of his asylum claim and of his application to remain temporarily in the State.
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.
