Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 17 September 2014
607. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the progress made to date of an application for citizenship in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Kildare; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [33612/14]
View answerI can inform the Deputy that the application has entered the final stage of processing and I intend to grant citizenship.
The person concerned has been invited to attend the next citizenship ceremony on 22nd September 2014, at which he will make a declaration of fidelity to the Irish Nation and loyalty to the State, give an undertaking to faithfully observe the laws of the State and to respect its democratic values, and receive his certificate of naturalisation.
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.
