Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 28 September 2017
128. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the current and or expected residency status and-or entitlement to naturalisation in the case of a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [41136/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe person concerned arrived in the State in 2007, was registered as a student here up to 26 November 2014, and through Trayers & Company Solicitors, submitted an application for permission to remain in the State on 22 May 2015. By letter of 24 May 2016 permission was refused.
The person concerned instituted Judicial Review proceedings on 06 September 2016 challenging the refusal to grant permission to remain and accordingly, as the matter is sub judice, I do not propose to comment further.
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.
