Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 April 2018
534. Deputy Darragh O'Brien asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the status of an application for permission to remain in the State by a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15427/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that a request for permission to remain in the State was received from the person on 15 December 2017. INIS has recently issued a letter to the person concerned, through their legal representative, requesting further information and documentation. The case will be examined further when the information is received.
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.
