Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 16 January 2014
258. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality notwithstanding his replies to previous parliamentary questions, the procedure to be followed in order to regularise the residency of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 15 who is anxious to comply with all necessary regulations; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2146/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs stated in my letter which issued to the Deputy on 31 October 2013, the person mentioned, who is now over the age of 18, should make an application in his own right and present the circumstances of his case. I am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the General Immigration Division of INIS has still not received an application from this person.
The Deputy may wish to note that 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 established specifically 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.
