Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 30 June 2016
56. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality the procedures to be followed to facilitate extended residency and preparation for naturalisation in the case of a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [18887/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraI have been informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that we have no record of a De Facto Partner Permission application for the person concerned. For details on how to make an application for De Facto Partner Permission, please consult the INIS website at http://www.inis.gov.ie/en/INIS/Pages/De%20Facto%20Relationships.
Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to 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 email service except in cases where the response from INIS is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.
