I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person referred to by the Deputy was granted a right of residency, accompanied by a right to work, based on parentage of an Irish citizen child on 12 January 2016. An application for renewal of residency was received in the relevant Section of the INIS on 16 November 2016. The application is under consideration at present and the INIS will be in contact with the person concerned when the case has been finalised.

I wish to advise the Deputy that Parliamentary Question No. 46 of 19 January 2017 does not relate to the person referred to by the Deputy.

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 the Parliamentary Question process. The Deputy may consider using the e-mail service except in questions where the response from INIS is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.
