I am advised by the Irish National Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department to refer the Deputy to the reply to his previous Parliamentary Question No. 133 of 4 December, 2014 in which it was stated that the person concerned submitted an application for residence under the Free Movement provisions on 17/09/2014. This application is currently under examination and a decision will be made based on the documentation on file within the six month statutory time limit.

As stated previously, I am not in a position to comment on the outcome of any application while it is under examination. However, the applicant has been granted temporary permission to reside in the State for six months up to 16/04/2015 pending a decision on the case.

Applications for residence in the State in respect of dependant family members of EU citizens can also be considered under the Free Movement provisions. The person concerned is advised to submit the relevant application to the EU Treaty Rights Unit, Residence Division of the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) for consideration. Application forms are available on the INIS website,www.inis.gov.ie.

Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to the INIS by e-mail using 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.
