I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned made an application to INIS on 8 May 2015 for an extension of their student permission. This application was refused on 12 July 2016.

I understand that INIS has received no further correspondence from this applicant since then. I am also informed that the person in question appears, currently, to be illegal in the State. If the person referred to by the Deputy wishes the case to be examined further, then they should write to Unit 1, Residence Division, Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service, 13-14 Burgh Quay, Dublin 2 providing details outlining their current circumstances substantiated by supporting documentation.

The Deputy may wish to note that queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to INIS by e-mail using the Oireachtas Mail facility which has been 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 Parliamentary Question process. The Deputy may consider using the e-mail service except in cases where the response from INIS is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.
