I am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned made an application for Stamp 4 residence permission to the Family Dependent Unit. A decision on the person's application issued to them by letter dated 15 May 2018. The application was unsuccessful. The person concerned may wish to consult the INIS website (www.inis.ie) to explore alternative ways of obtaining a Stamp 4 in their own right. I understand that a letter to this effect from the Family Dependent Unit issued to the person concerned on 15 May 2018.

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. The service enables up to date information on such cases to be obtained without the need to seek information by the way of 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.
