I am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service of my Department that a request for further permission was received from the person concerned on 7 May, 2019.  The Deputy will appreciate that such requests are dealt with in chronological order.  I understand that the request is under active consideration and a decision will be made as soon as possible.

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.

I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that it would appear this person's presence in the State may be unlawful as they do not appear to hold a current permission to remain in the State.

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.  In order to allow for a full examination of the person's circumstances, the person concerned should write to Unit 2, Domestic Residence and Permissions Division, INIS, 13/14 Burgh Quay, Dublin 2 and provide a detailed account and documentary evidence of their personal circumstances since the expiration of their permission to reside in this State.
