The question of residency status does not arise at this time in the case of the person whose details were supplied.

As the Deputy will be aware, 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 remain in the protection process.

I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned has applied for a right of residency in the State, accompanied by a right to work, based on their parentage of an Irish citizen child, and based also on the principles of the Zambrano Judgment. While the person concerned has submitted some of the required documentation, other items of documentation remain outstanding. Foremost among the outstanding items are a clear copy of the bio-data page from the Irish citizen child's passport and documentation which shows the role they are playing in the child's life. Upon receipt of the outstanding documentation, this application can be further considered.

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