I am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned has submitted an application for De Facto Partner Permission which was received on 30 January 2017. This office is currently awaiting further documentation to enable the application to be considered.

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.
