My Department has no record of having granted an immigration permission or having received an immigration application on behalf of the person referred to by the Deputy.
As the person is over the age of 18 years, and in order to allow for a full examination of their circumstances, they should write directly to my Department at: Domestic Residence and Permissions Division – Unit 2, Immigration Service, 13-14 Burgh Quay, Dublin 2, DO2 XK70.
They should outline if they have held a previous permission to reside in the State, their current circumstances and future intentions in the State and provide any documentation they feel will support their case. Details of permission granted to family members with whom they have been resident in the State and on whom they were dependent should also be provided.
It may also be open to the person concerned to make an application for naturalisation if they meet the criteria. Further information is available on my Department's immigration website at: www.irishimmigration.ie/how-to-become-a-citizen/.
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.
