I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the  person's most recent permission to reside in the State expired on 7 January, 2019.  The Deputy will appreciate that, under the relevant provisions of the Immigration Act, 2004, a non-national may not be in the State other than within the terms of a permission from the Minister for Justice and Equality.

I am further informed that, in order to allow for a full examination of the circumstances, the person concerned should to write to Unit 2, Domestic Residence and Permissions Division, INIS, 13/14 Burgh Quay, Dublin 2 without delay.   The person concerned should provide a detailed account of their personal circumstances since the expiration of their permission to reside in this State including documentary evidence of the offer of employment.

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.
