Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 29 May 2019
90. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the current and possible residency status in the case of a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22942/19]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned made an application for a right of residency accompanied by a right to work in this State based on their parentage of an Irish citizen child on 25 June 2018.
The Deputy will appreciate that applications are dealt within chronological order. I understand that INIS wrote to the person concerned on 13 July 2018 and 12 November 2018 seeking further information which has since been received. I also understand that the application is now under consideration and INIS will be in contact with the person concerned, in writing, 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.
