I can inform the Deputy that I have agreed to accept the proposal from the person concerned for the inclusion of their family member on the Irish Refugee Protection Programme Humanitarian Admissions Programme (IHAP2) scheme. The person concerned was notified of my decision by letter on 14 December 2018.
The Immigration Service issued further correspondence on 22 February 2019, seeking additional information in order to issue Irish travel documents to the family member and is awaiting that information in order to complete the process. Formal notification of their permission to reside in the state as a programme refugee will be effected once they arrive in the state.
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.
Question No. 280 answered with Question No. 265.
