Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 6 April 2017
95. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality when a stamp 4 will issue in the case of a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [17334/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person mentioned by the Deputy made an application to INIS, in February 2017, for permission to remain in the State as the spouse of an Irish National. This application is being processed and INIS is currently awaiting further documentation from the applicant. Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to INIS by e-mail using the Oireachtas Mail facility which has been 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 Parliamentary Question process. The Deputy may consider using the e-mail service except in cases where the response from INIS is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.
