I have been informed by the Irish Naturalisation & Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that a letter issued to the person concerned on 22 August 2016 requesting further documentation in relation to their application for residency in the State. A reply is awaited.

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.

I have been informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that they are not in receipt of any application for long term residency from the person concerned. In the circumstances, I would suggest that the person make such an application and give full details of their current circumstances in the State, to enable a decision to be made in this regard.
