I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation & Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned has permission to reside in the State until 2 November 2014. I am further advised that for the purposes of obtaining permission to reside in the State, based on the type of permission currently held by the person concerned, their spouse and children are considered to be their dependents.

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 email service except in cases where the response from INIS is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.

The question of residency status does not arise at this time in the case of the person whose details were supplied. If the person has made an application for asylum or subsidiary protection, the position is that it is not the practice to comment on such applications for so long as they are in the protection process.
