I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned was issued with a notification pursuant to the provisions of Section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended) in light of the fact that they had no valid basis to remain in the State. This notification advised the person concerned of the options open to them as a result. I am advised that the person concerned has not responded to this notification. I am also advised that the person concerned has no application pending with the INIS since October, 2018.

The position in the State of the person concerned will now be decided by reference to the provisions of Section 3(6) of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended) and all other applicable legislation in advance of a final decision being made.

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.
