Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 9 September 2021
920. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice the current position in relation to the determination of residency status in the case of a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [42580/21]
Amharc ar fhreagraI can advise the Deputy that, in response to a notification pursuant to the provisions of Section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended), the person concerned has not, to date, submitted written representations. Therefore, their position in the State will now be decided by reference to the provisions of Section 3 (6) of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended) and all other applicable legislation. If any representations are submitted, they will be considered before a final decision is made.
Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to my Department by e-mail using the Oireachtas Mail facility (inisoireachtasmail@justice.ie), 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 is, in the Deputy’s view, inadequate or too long awaited.
