Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 9 March 2017
73. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality when renewal of a visa in the case of a person (details supplied) is likely to be approved; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [12708/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned, a named dependant in their parent's case, has had their permission to remain in the State renewed for a further three year period, effective from 4th November, 2015 to 4th November, 2018. This decision was conveyed in writing to the parent of the person concerned by registered post dated 27th October, 2015. The person concerned was a named dependant in that decision letter. That position continues to obtain.
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.
