Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 17 January 2019
109. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if entitlement to work in the case of persons (details supplied) can be transferred; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2207/19]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned has permission to reside in the State under Stamp 3 conditions until 21 November, 2020. I am further informed that INIS has no record of correspondence from the person concerned in relation to a request for a change of immigration status to allow the person work in the State.
I am further informed that it is open to the person concerned to make an application to vary their permission to reside in this State. In order to allow for a full examination of the person's circumstances, the person concerned should write to Unit 2, Domestic Residence and Permissions Division, INIS, 13/14 Burgh Quay, Dublin 2 and provide a detailed account and documentary evidence of their personal circumstances.
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.
