Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 March 2018
330. Deputy Willie Penrose asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the status of an appeal by a person (details supplied) in relation to their application for a residence card under the European Communities (Free Movement of Persons) Regulations 2015; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12292/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraI have been informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned was refused a residence card on 24 October 2017 as they were not in compliance with the relevant provisions of the European Communities (Free Movement of Persons) Regulations 2015.
I am further informed that INIS received a request for a review of that decision on 13 November, 2017. The Deputy will appreciate that review applications are dealt with in chronological order. I also understand that there will be no avoidable delay in issuing a decision.
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.
