I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned was granted temporary permission to remain in the State in 2001. This permission was renewed on a regular basis with the latest permission due to expire on 26 August 2018. The latest permission was granted awaiting the presentation of a new passport from the person concerned. I am advised that this new passport was presented on 5 April 2018 at the Garda National Immigration Bureau headquarters in Burgh Quay. The passport of the person concerned has been referred to an external service provider for verification. On completion of this process, INIS will contact the person concerned in reference to future registration.

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.
