I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that, in response to a notification pursuant to the provisions of Section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended), written representations have been submitted on behalf of the persons concerned.
The applicant was granted permission to remain in the State based on the parentage of an Irish citizen child. This permission was valid until 06 February 2018. By letter dated 10 January 2018, the applicant was informed that this permission was revoked as it came to the attention of the Department that the child from which the permission was derived was not entitled to an Irish passport.
The applicant has been issued with a notification pursuant to the provisions of Section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended). Written representations have been submitted on behalf of the persons concerned.
These representations, together with all other information and documentation on file, will be fully considered, under Section 3 (6) of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended) and all other applicable legislation, in advance of a final decision being made.
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.
