The records available to my Department indicate that the person referred to by the Deputy has no legal status in the State since 28 February 2018.

In all cases, where persons have no permission to remain in the State, they must engage with the immigration authorities if they wish to be permitted to remain here legally.

The person is advised to write to Unit 2, Residence Division, Immigration Service Delivery, 13/14 Burgh Quay, Dublin 2, supplying a full copy of their passport and full details outlining their current circumstances. Queries can be sent by email to unit2residencedivision@justice.ie.

I would encourage any person who is resident in the State without permission to contact the Department or their local immigration office and to take all appropriate steps to regularise their position in the state.

Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to 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 Question process. The Deputy may consider using the email service except in the cases where the response is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.
