Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 6 April 2016
388. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the current and expected residency status and eligibility for naturalisation of a person (details supplied) in County Longford; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [6145/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person referred to is the subject of a Deportation Order made on 15 July 2011 and therefore has no entitlement to residency in the State or naturalisation. Judicial Review proceedings were issued on 8 September 2011 challenging the Deportation Order and accordingly, as that matter is sub judice I do not propose to comment further.
Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) by Email 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.
