Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 27 March 2014
157. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if consideration will be given to upgrading from stamp 3 to stamp 4 in respect of residency status in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Kildare; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14660/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person mentioned does not have an application pending and should be advised to make an application to INIS immediately if the person concerned wishes to upgrade their status.
Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to INIS by email 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 email service except in cases where the response from INIS is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.
