I have been informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned was refused a Residence Card on 12 September 2017 as they were not in compliance with the European Communities (Free Movement of Persons) Regulations 2015.
I am also informed that INIS received an application for a review of that decision on 2 November 2017. The Deputy will appreciate that review applications are processed in chronological order. I understand that there will be 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.
