I refer the Deputy to my reply to his earlier Parliamentary Question No. 188 of 15 November, 2012, which relates to the same person. The position in relation to the application referred to by the Deputy remains the same.
Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to the 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 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.
