Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 1 October 2015
152. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the position in updating the regularisation of residency status-qualification under the European Communities (Free Movement of Persons) Regulations 2006 to 2008 for a person (details supplied) in County Kildare; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [33886/15]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the application, by the person concerned, for residence under the Free Movement provisions is currently under examination. Further documentation was requested in support of the application on 26 August, 2015 but has not been submitted to date. A decision will issue very shortly on the case and will be made on the basis of the documentation on file.
Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to the INIS of my Department 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.
