I am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that without proper identification details or reference numbers it is not possible to identify the person in question. However, if this person is unlawfully present in the State they should present themselves to their local Immigration Officer.
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 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.
