Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 25 January 2018
109. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if all required documentation has been supplied to the relevant section of his Department by a person (details supplied) in order to facilitate their application for permission to remain; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3917/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that, in response to a notification pursuant to the provisions of Section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended), the person concerned has submitted written representations.
With a view to having the case of the person concerned progressed, a representative of the INIS wrote to the person concerned on 18 January 2018, requesting the submission of specific documentation. The position in the State of the person concerned can be further considered upon receipt of the requested documentation.
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.
