I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned made an application for a right to residency accompanied by a right to work based on their parentage of an Irish citizen child on 23 May 2017.
I am further advised that INIS wrote to the person concerned on 26 March 2018 seeking further information and clarification. To date, INIS has no record of a response from the person concerned.
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.
