Based on the information provided by the Deputy, the Visa Office of my Department cannot definitively identify the applications to which the Deputy refers. If he can supply further information, eg. the visa application numbers, via the Oireachtas Mail facility, I will arrange for an early reply.
I should remind the Deputy that queries regarding 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.
