Written answers

The person concerned was granted temporary permission to remain in the State in 2001 under the arrangements then applicable to the non-EEA national parents of Irish born citizen children. His permission was renewed on a regular basis with the latest permission due to expire on 7 January, 2015.

A valid application for a certificate of naturalisation has been received from the person concerned. The application is currently being processed with a view to establishing whether the applicant meets the statutory conditions for the granting of naturalisation and will be submitted to me for decision as expeditiously as possible.

Queries in relation to general immigration matters may be made directly to the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (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.
