Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 2 December 2014
306. Deputy Tom Fleming asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if she will review a stamp 4 application in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [45825/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person in question was illegally present in the State from 12 September 2003 until the person concerned was granted permission on 15 October 2014, as a dependent family member of their spouse who was granted permission under the 2004 Student Probationary Extension scheme. This permission brings the person in line with their spouse's permission.
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 the Parliamentary Questions process. The Deputy may consider using the e-mail service except in cases where the response from the INIS is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate of too long awaited.
