Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 20 February 2014
201. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the current residency status in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Kildare; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8792/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraI have been advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned was granted a Stamp 5 on the 11 October 2013 and that he registered this endorsement with the Garda National Immigration Bureau (GNIB) on the 17 October 2013. The Stamp 5 is valid until the 13 November 2017 and permits the person concerned to reside and work in the State.
Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to INIS by email using Oireachtas Mail which was 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 Question process. The Deputy may consider using the email service except in cases where the response from INIS is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.
