Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 30 November 2017
115. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the correct procedure to be followed in the case of a person (details supplied) who wishes to have the appropriate residency to live here; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [51394/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person referred to by the Deputy is resident here on the basis of an extension of student permission which is due to expire on 21 January 2018.
The person concerned may make representations to reside in the State beyond this date to Residence Division, Unit 1, 13-14 Burgh Quay, Dublin 2.
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.
