I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that an application by the person concerned for retention of a right of residence in this state, which falls to be considered under the European Communities (Free Movement of Persons) Regulations 2015, was received on 22 October, 2015 . I am informed that INIS requested further information concerning the person's marital status on 25 January and 17 February, 2016. I understand that the person's response to the complex matters raised was received by INIS on 29 March, 2016 and is currently under consideration.

The Deputy will be aware that queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to the INIS 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.
