Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 31 January 2013
163. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the current position and progress made of an application for family reunification in the case of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 15; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5040/13]
View answerI am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) that some of the documentation as requested has been submitted and that a further letter issued to the legal representative of the person referred to by the Deputy on 22 January 2013. A reply to that correspondence is still outstanding.
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 Questions 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.
