Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 November 2014
284. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the position regarding residency status in the case of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 14 who is married to an Irish citizen since June 2010; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [43954/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned is currently registered in the State as the spouse of an Irish national under Stamp 4 conditions. This permission is valid until 07 May 2015 and is renewable by attending at their local immigration officer accompanied by their Irish spouse prior to its expiry.
If there has been any change of circumstances preventing the renewal of their immigration permission, the person concerned should be advised to make an application to INIS outlining the circumstances preventing renewal of their registration.
Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to the 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 e-mail service except in cases where the response from INIS is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.
