Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 13 December 2016
135. Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality if she will issue a temporary stamp 4 and an updated GNIB card to a person (details supplied) to allow them to continue to work while a review of their case is being carried out in view of the inadvertent miscommunication between the person and INIS. [40042/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned was refused an application for a residence card, under the provisions of the European Communities (Free Movement of Persons) Regulations 2015, on 14 November, 2016.
A request by the applicant for a review of this decision was received on 07 December, 2016. The request for a review has been accepted for consideration, and the person concerned has been informed of this by letter of 9th December 2016. The person concerned has also been informed that they may obtain temporary permission to reside in the State while their review is under consideration. The EU Treaty Rights Review Unit will be in further contact with the person in question in due course.
The Deputy may wish to note that queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to the INIS by e-mail using 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 from the INIS is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.
