163. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the current residency status in the case of persons (details supplied) in County Dublin; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [43966/13]
View answerThe first named person concerned made an application for a Certificate of Naturalisation in May, 2007. This application was refused and the person concerned was advised of this decision, and the reasons for the decision. It is open to this person, who has current permission to remain in the State until 1 October, 2014, to lodge a new application if and when he feels he is in a position to meet the statutory residency, and other, requirements applicable to such applications.
The second named person concerned was granted a Certificate of Naturalisation in August, 2003.
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.
