As stated in the previous reply made to the Deputy on 16 January 2014, the person mentioned was to make an application for leave to remain in the State in their own right and present the circumstances of his case. To date an application has not been received from this person.

I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the Residence Division have no record of having received an application for residency in the State on the basis of being in a de facto relationship with an Irish national or resident in respect of the person referred to.

The person concerned should be advised by the Deputy to write immediately to the Residence Division of INIS setting out the reasons why they have remained unlawfully present in the State since 2011 and the basis on which they feel that should be afforded residency given their party to a relationship referred to as permanent.
