I am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that there is no record of an application from the persons concerned. It is, however, open to them to contact INIS, in writing, and set out their particular circumstances to the Family Dependent Unit, Domestic Residence and Permissions Division, 13/14 Burgh Quay, Dublin 2. Any such request will be given detailed consideration by INIS upon receipt of the relevant information and documentary evidence from the individuas concerned.

Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to the INIS of my Department by email 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 there is no record of a request from the person concerned for permission to reside in the State.

I am further advised that it would appear that the person concerned is resident in the State as the holder of an employment permit from the Department of Business, Enterprise and Innovation (DBEI). If the person holds a Critical Skills Employment Permit it is open to them to consult with DBEI to determine whether they meet that Department's criteria for a change to Stamp 4. In circumstances where the person concerned obtains the relevant 'Support Letter' from DBEI, they may attend their local Immigration Office with a view to completing the relevant immigration process for registration of permission to reside in this State on Stamp 4 conditions.

I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned is the subject of a valid Deportation Order made on 26 October 2016. The Deputy might wish to note that persons subject of a Deportation Order are obliged to remove themselves from the State and to remain out of the State.

Representations were received from the person concerned, pursuant to the provisions of section 3(11) of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended), requesting that the Deportation Order be revoked. Following the detailed consideration of the information submitted in support of the request, the Deportation Order was affirmed on 1 September 2017.
