Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 22 October 2015
234. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality further to Parliamentary Question No. 115 of 24 September 2015, if she will confirm that the information requested from the applicant's solicitor on 3 September 2015 has been furnished to the relevant section of her Department, in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Kildare; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [37095/15]
View answerI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the requested documentation was received from the applicant's solicitor on 16 October 2015. Processing of the application is ongoing and the case will be submitted to me for decision as expeditiously as possible.
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.
