Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 September 2018
274. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the progress to date in the determination of an application for status in the case of a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [37195/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned requested permission to reside in the State on 14 May 2018.
The Deputy will appreciate that applications are dealt with in chronological order. In that regard, I am informed that INIS wrote to the person concerned 10 September 2018 seeking further information. The request will be given detailed consideration by INIS upon receipt of the relevant response from the individual 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 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 was of the Parliamentary Question process. The Deputy may consider using the e-mail service except in cases where the response from INIS is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.
