I am pleased to inform the Deputy that the first name person referred to had her application granted and was presented with a Certificate of Naturalisation at a citizenship ceremony on 30 September 2011. There is no record of an application for a certificate of naturalisation from the second named person referred to by the Deputy.
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.
