I am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that it has received a request for permission to remain in the State in respect of the person mentioned by the Deputy.

Please be aware that this case was among a large number of such cases held by this Department pending the outcome of the Supreme Court judgment in respect of Luximon and Balchand which were finalised on 24 April 2018.  At this time, the INIS state that it may take some time to assess the above mentioned applications and ask if the persons concerned might bear with them whilst undertaking this task.

The person's application has not been examined in full at this time, if further documentation or clarification of any matter related to the application is required from the person concerned, we will write to them requesting same. 

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.
