I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that, the person concerned has not made contact with INIS and that the last contact was during 2012. However, INIS will now contact the person in question at the address supplied by the Deputy to assess the up-to-date position on their circumstances in the State.
Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to the INIS of my Department 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.
