Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 25 January 2018
105. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the progress in the determination of eligibility for long-term residency naturalisation in the case of a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3893/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the situation remains as outlined in my response to his Parliamentary Question number 510 on 16 January 2018.
The person referred to by the Deputy was refused permission to remain in the State by INIS in 2016. The person concerned has no permission to be in the State since that date and has not submitted a further request for such a permission.
If it is the case that the person in question has not engaged with the immigration service already he or she should do so as soon as possible.
If the person wishes to request further permission to remain in the State they should write directly to Residence Division Unit 1, Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service, 13/14 Burgh Quay, Dublin 2 as soon as possible.
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.
