The person concerned has requested a right of residency in the State, accompanied by a right to work, based on the principles of the European Court of Justice Judgment in the Zambrano case. When consideration of this application has been completed, the person concerned will be notified in writing of the outcome. In the event that all information and documentation required to make a decision is on file, the Deputy can be assured that there will be no avoidable delay in having the case of the person concerned processed to completion.

Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to the INIS 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.
