Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 19 July 2012
584 Deputy Noel Harrington asked the Minister for Justice and Equality further to Parliamentary Question No. 482 of 12 June 2012 when the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service intend to contact the persons concerned; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [36352/12]
View answerI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) that the people concerned have left the State and returned to their country of origin. The INIS will ensure that any correspondence is directed to their overseas address within the next few days.
Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to INIS by e-mail using the 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 Question process. The Deputy may consider using the e-mail service except in cases where the response from INIS is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.
