Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 15 May 2014
208. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the options available in respect of residency in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Carlow; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [22080/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person mentioned should be advised to write to the Residence Division setting out his and his family's details and circumstances in the State. To date he has not been in contact with INIS. 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 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.
