Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 9 May 2017
97. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality if stamp 4 can issue in the case of a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [21567/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned was granted permission to remain in the State, on a stamp 4 basis, on 11 April 2008. This permission was subsequently renewed with the latest permission granted up to 23 April 2018. This is the same position as was set out in my reply to Parliamentary Question No. 671 of 22 September, 2015.
The Deputy will be aware 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 too long awaited.
