Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 5 April 2011
285 Deputy Jack Wall asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the position regarding an application for citizenship in respect of persons (details supplied) in County Kildare; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6387/11]
View answerValid applications for a certificate of naturalisation from the persons referred to in the Deputy's Question were received in the Citizenship Division of my Department in January 2008.
The applications are being processed in the normal way with a view to establishing whether the applicants meet the statutory conditions for the granting of naturalisation and will be submitted to me for decision in due course. I should remind the Deputy that queries in relation to the status of individual Immigration cases may be made direct to INIS by e-mail using the Oireachtas Mail facility which has been specifically established for this purpose. The service enables up-to-date information on such cases to be obtained without the need to seek this information through the more administratively expensive Parliamentary Questions process.
