Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 18 April 2012
993 Deputy Jack Wall asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the position regarding an application in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Kildare; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [18552/12]
View answerAn application for a certificate of naturalisation from the person referred to in the Deputy's Question was received in the Citizenship Section of my Department in October 2010 and also March 2011. On examination of the application submitted, it was determined that the application be returned in its entirety to the person concerned for further attention on 23 November, 2010 and 4 March, 2011. In order to be fair to all applicants, only valid applications can be considered. To date no new application has been received.
I shouldremind 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.
