I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned was refused permission to remain in the state on the basis of his marriage to an EU Citizen.

On 18 April 2016, the person concerned was issued with a proposal to make a removal order in respect of him in accordance with the European Communities (Free Movement of persons) Regulations.

The person concerned, through his legal representative, submitted representations in accordance with Regulation 20 of the European Communities (Free Movement of Persons) Regulations 2015. This request will be considered as soon as it is possible to do so.

Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to the INIS of my Department 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 the INIS is, in the Deputy’s view, inadequate or too long awaited.

I have been informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service of my Department that the person concerned applied to EU Treaty Rights Unit to be treated as a Permitted Family Member of an EU Citizen based on their relationship to an EU Citizen on 1 November 2016.

Following a consideration of the file, the application was refused on 10 July 2017 as they had failed to meet the criteria laid out under the Free Movement of Persons Regulations 2015.

The person concerned requested a review of the decision on 28 July 2017 and this application is currently being processed. This review will be considered in due course.
