I am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) that the person referred to by the Deputy was approved as the subject of a Family Reunification application on 16th May 2006. I am further informed by INIS that the person referred to by the Deputy was granted permission to enter and reside in the State pursuant to Section 18 of the Refugee Act, 1996 (as amended) and is entitled to the rights and privileges specified in Section 3 of the Act for such period as the person who made the family Reunification application on their behalf remains the holder of a declaration of refugee status.

Registration is, however, a matter for An Garda Síochána.

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