I am informed by my officials in the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) that there is no record that the person referred to by the Deputy recently applied for a Stamp 5 permission to remain in the State.

There is, however, a record that an application was received from this person in March 2017 requesting permission to remain in the State under the Zambrano judgement. The processing of this application is ongoing.

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 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 e-mail service except in cases where the response from INIS is, in the Deputy’s view, inadequate or too long awaited.
