Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 19 September 2024
239. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice when a residency update/permission to remain/naturalisation might issue in the case of a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [37243/24]
View answerThe person referred to by the Deputy submitted an application for a residence card under the European Communities (Free Movement of Persons) Regulations 2015, which was received by the EU Treaty Rights Division of my Department on 1 November 2023. The residence card application relates to the person’s claim to have an entitlement to a residence card based on being the adult daughter of a Union citizen and having been an adult dependent on their Union citizen parent prior to their arrival in Ireland.
While every effort is made to issue a decision on each application as soon as possible, current processing times may vary having regard to the complexity of the application and the possible need for the EU Treaty Rights Division to seek further information. The person concerned can be assured that there will be no avoidable delay in having their case brought to finality.
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 at: IMoireachtasmail@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.
