I am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned made an application for retention of permission to reside in the State, on an individual and personal basis, arising from a change in their personal circumstances. I am informed that INIS wrote to the person on 15 January, 2016 to advise that they were granted permission to remain in the State, on Stamp 4 EUFam conditions, until 14 January, 2021.
I am also advised that the person concerned made a separate application, on 18 August, 2015, for a right of residency, accompanied by a right to work, based on her parentage of an Irish citizen child. The person concerned has already been granted permission to remain in the State, on Stamp 4 EUFam, Accordingly, the State's obligation with regard to any permission that might otherwise granted as a result of her parentage of an Irish Citizen child has been met in her case. The INIS will be writing to the person concerned to clarify the matter for the applicant.
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.
