I wish to advise the Deputy that the person in question applied for a permanent residence card under the provisions of the European Communities (Free Movement of Persons) Regulations 2006 and 2008 on 7 December 2010. By letter dated 9 June 2011 the applicant was advised that their application for a permanent residence card had been refused and the reasons for the refusal were as set out in that letter.

The applicant on 10 August 2011 submitted a request for review of the decision to refuse a permanent residence card. EU Treaty Rights Review Unit, of my Department, on 2 November 2011 wrote to the applicant requesting that further documentation be submitted within 10 days to enable a decision on the review application to be made. A response to this letter is awaited. On receipt of a response, it will then be possible to finalise the review application.

Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to INIS by Email 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 INIS is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.
