I am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned has permission to reside in the State on Stamp 4 conditions as a dependant of an Irish national. This permission is valid until 28 November 2019 and may be renewed, subject to compliance with the relevant conditions, with the person's local Immigration Officer.

I am also informed that it remains open to the person concerned to make an application for Irish citizenship under the naturalisation process. Detailed information regarding eligibility for naturalisation in respect of the person concerned can be obtained from the INIS website at http://www.inis.gov.ie/en/INIS/Pages/citizenship.

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 INIS is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.
