Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 24 May 2018
86. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the status and eligibility for upgrade or naturalisation in the case of a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23061/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person has remained in the State without appropriate permission.
Given that the person concerned has failed to register with the Garda National Immigration Bureau, the person should write to the Department immediately outlining their position in the State.
As INIS hold no records of the person, a representative of the Department can only consider the options available to the applicant from the correspondence 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.
