Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 January 2017
188. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality the progress to date in determination of application for leave to remain in the case of a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [1543/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned applied for a right of residency, accompanied by a right to work, based on parentage of an Irish citizen child on 30 September, 2015. This office has been in contact with the applicant on numerous occasions seeking further information and clarification. The application will be processed on receipt of the required information.
The Deputy may wish note that queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to the INIS 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 long awaited
