Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 15 October 2013
278. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the procedures to be followed to correct the date of birth recorded on her Stamp 4 in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Carlow; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [43611/13]
View answerThe person concerned, through her legal representative, has made a request to have her personal details amended on Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) records to match those detailed on her national passport. This request is under consideration at present. Once the consideration of this request has been completed, and a decision arrived at, this decision will be conveyed in writing to the person concerned and, as is INIS custom and practice, the decision will be copied to the relevant legal representative at the same time.
Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to the INIS of my Department 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.
