I am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that a letter granting permission to remain for a period of four months issued to the person referred to by the Deputy in November 2014 to afford them the opportunity to apply for a work permit in the State. However, they failed to register this permission with the Garda National Immigration Bureau.

In the letter that issued to that person in November, they were informed that failure to register promptly would be considered a failure to comply with the laws of the State and may, in itself, constitute a ground for revoking the permission to be in the State.

A letter to this effect again issued to this person on 3 June 2015.

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.
