Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 September 2018
333. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the reason stamp 4 has not been renewed in the case of a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [37777/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraI have been informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned was granted permission to remain in the State as an exceptional measure on an individual and personal basis on 13 July 2015.
This permission is subject to a number of conditions including that the person concerned does not become a burden on the State and must be in a position to show evidence of employment or self-sufficiency when renewing their immigration permission. Information available shows that the person concerned has been in receipt of Jobseekers Allowance since October 2017. On 18 July 2018 the individual attended their local registration office where the request to renew their permission was refused as the individual was unable to show that they met the criteria outlined in the permission.
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.
