Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 20 February 2014
194. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the current or expected residency status in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Carlow; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8785/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraI have been informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department, that the person referred to by the Deputy currently does not have an application pending with INIS. This person arrived in the State on 21 July 2011 and registered as a student on 8 August 2011. She currently has permission to remain until 4 August 2014. This person is advised to examine the new student pathway on the Department's website www.inis.gov.ie.
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.
