I have been advised by the Immigration Service of my Department that an application, on behalf of the person referred to by the Deputy, for permission to reside in Ireland on the basis of family dependency, was received on 1st August 2019.

As the Deputy will be aware, permission to enter the State is ultimately granted by the Immigration officer on duty at the port of entry. Detailed information on the circumstances in which a non-EEA national may seek permission to reside in the State is contained in the INIS Policy Document on Non-EEA Family Reunification. This information is available on the Immigration Services website at .

I am advised that, following full consideration of the individual circumstances of this case, the application for permission to reside was subsequently refused on the 28th August, 2019.  If the person concerned is currently present in the State on visitor's conditions, they are now required to make arrangements to leave the State before the expiry of the visitor's permission.

Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to the Immigration Service 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 is, in the Deputy’s view, inadequate or too long awaited.
