I am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) that there is no current application for family reunification from the person referred to by the Deputy. I am further informed by INIS that a decision issued to him in July 2007 in respect of a family reunification application advising him that the subjects of his application were not granted. The Deputy may wish to note that 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 established specifically 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.
