Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 20 April 2011
128 Deputy Eric Byrne asked the Minister for Justice and Equality when it is expected that citizenship will be granted to enable a passport to be obtained in respect of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 12. [8687/11]
View answerA valid application for a certificate of naturalisation from the person referred to in the Deputy's Question was received in the Citizenship Division of my Department in November 2008. The application is being finalised at present and will be submitted to me for decision shortly.
I should remind the Deputy that queries in relation to the status of individual Immigration cases may be made direct to INIS by Email 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.
