Written answers

I am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person referred to applied for a change to their immigration status. This application was refused on 25 June 2013. Judicial Review proceedings were issued on 24 July 2013 seeking to quash the refusal decision and accordingly, as the matter is sub judice, I do not propose to comment further.

The Deputy may wish to note that 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.
