Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 25 June 2015
143. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if provision will be made for the regularisation of residency status and a review of the position in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Galway; if the case will be re-examined; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [25615/15]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that they are not aware of a deportation order in place for the person referred to by the Deputy. She was granted permission to be in the State on Stamp 4 permission on 15/7/2010 for a period of 5 years. It is now open to the person concerned to attend their local Immigration Office for the purpose of having their current permission renewed.
The Deputy will be aware that 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 or too long awaited.
