The person referred to by the Deputy previously submitted an application for a De Facto Relationship to the Immigration Service of my Department on 10 October 2018. This application was examined in detail and a decision was made to refuse the application on 29 April 2019.

It is open to the person concerned to submit a new application for preclearance under the Irish Nationals De Facto Partners programme.

Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to my Department by e-mail using the Oireachtas Mail facility (inisoireachtasmail@justice.ie), 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.
