Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 11 April 2017
121. Deputy Jack Chambers asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality the status of the case of a person (details supplied) who has been having difficulties obtaining the relevant stamps to remain here; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [17708/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned made an application for Long Term Residency on 19 December 2016. Further documentation, which was requested from the applicant, was received in INIS on 5 April 2017. The application is being considered and INIS will be in contact with the person concerned shortly.
The Deputy may wish to note that 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 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 the INIS is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.
