I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that, in response to a notification pursuant to the provisions of Section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended), written representations have been submitted on behalf of the person concerned.

These representations, together with all other information and documentation on file, will be fully considered, under Section 3 (6) of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended) and all other applicable legislation, in advance of a final decision being made.

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.

Minister for Justice and Equality which is due to be heard in the Supreme Court on 30 November 2017.

I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the persons concerned had their permission to remain in the State renewed for a further one year period to 14 December 2017. This decision was conveyed in writing to the persons concerned by letters dated 13 December 2016. This permission was renewed to enable the persons concerned to obtain a valid passport or alternatively submit evidence as to what effort they have made to secure a passport.

A representative of the INIS wrote to the persons concerned on 30 August 2017 requesting the submission of specific documentation. There is no record of the requested documentation having been submitted to date. The position in the State of the persons concerned can be further considered upon receipt of the requested documentation.
