Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 January 2017
192. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality the progress to date in determination of an application for a residence card, under the provisions of the European Communities (Free Movement of Persons) Regulations 2015, in the case of a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [1576/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned was refused an application for a residence card, under the provisions of the European Communities (Free Movement of Persons) Regulations 2015 on 2 July, 2016.
I am further informed that a request for a review of that decision was received on 8 July, 2016 and it is currently under consideration: a decision is expected to issue shortly.
The Deputy may wish to note that queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to the INIS by e-mail using 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.
