Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 22 January 2015
126. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the current status and expected progress in the determination of an application for naturalisation in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Louth; if information requested as per correspondence of 13 October 2014 has been received in the relevant section; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [3238/15]
View answerThe person concerned was informed on 13 October 2014 of my intention to grant his application for a certificate of naturalisation. The required documentation has recently been received and the person concerned will be invited in due course to attend the next available citizenship ceremony, at which he will make a declaration of fidelity to the Irish Nation and loyalty to the State and receive his certificate of naturalisation.
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.
