Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 25 September 2014
133. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality further to Parliamentary Question No. 196 of 11 July 2013, if she will review the circumstances surrounding the case of a person (details supplied) in County Galway; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [36408/14]
View answerI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that a letter issued to the person mentioned by the Deputy on 21 August 2014 regarding their circumstances in the State, to which INIS is awaiting a reply. A decision cannot be made on the case until the person concerned engages with INIS.
Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to the 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 the INIS is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.
