Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 12 February 2015
158. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if a family re-unification application in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Waterford will be approved; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [6568/15]
View answerI 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.
Information on the family reunification applications process is available on the website of the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service of my Department at www.inis.gov.ie.
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.
