Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 28 February 2019
106. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if an extension of time will be provided to facilitate the assembly of the necessary documentation in the case of a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10190/19]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned was granted permission to reside the State on Stamp 1 conditions on 6 November 2018.
I am further advised that INIS has no record of a request from the person concerned in relation to extension of this permission. I understand that it is open to the person concerned to write to Unit 2, Domestic Residence and Permissions Division, INIS, 13/14 Burgh Quay, Dublin 2 setting out the reason for seeking such an extension and a decision will issue in due course.
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.
