I am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned was granted permission to remain in the State under the provisions of the European Communities (Free Movement of Persons) Regulations 2006 for a period of five years expiring on 21 July, 2016. I am advised that the person's permission was registered up to 28 January, 2015 in accordance with the expiry of his passport. I am further advised that the person was informed, in writing, on 22 July, 2011 that it is open to him to return to his local immigration office to have the remainder of the five year permission to reside in this State endorsed on his new/renewed passport.
The person may wish to note that it is also open to him to submit an application to INIS for renewal of his permission to remain in the State. Details on the criteria to be met by persons lodging such applications can be found on the INIS website (www.inis.gov.ie).
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.
