I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that INIS is currently considering both of the cases concerned and that INIS expects to be in a position to write to both persons very shortly.

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 am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that it is not possible to identify the person referred to by the Deputy due to the lack of detail provided.

If the Deputy can provide further details such as the person's full name (if different from that already provided), their date of birth, their GNIB Registration Number, as well as similar details relating to the person's spouse, I will have the matter investigated further.

If it is the case that the person in question has not engaged with the immigration service already he or she should do so as soon as possible.

I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the position remains as outlined in my previous responses to the Deputy's Parliamentary Questions in the matter  (question no. 107 on 17 November 2016, Question no. 46 on 19 January 2017 and question no. 63 on 9 February 2017 refer).

The person concerned was refused permission to remain in the State on 12 July 2016. The person referred to by the Deputy has made no further request for a permission to remain in the State since that date.

If the person wishes to request further permission to remain in the State, they should write directly to Residence Division Unit 1, Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service, 13/14 Burgh Quay, Dublin 2 as soon as possible.
