I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned was refused a residence card on 14 November 2016 under the European Communities (Free Movement of Persons) Regulations 2015.

I am further informed that INIS only received an application for review of that decision very recently. I understand that INIS will write to the person concerned shortly in connection with the next stage of the review process.

The Deputy will be aware 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.
