I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the position remains as set out in my reply to Parliamentary Question No. 48 of 26th January 2017.
In addition, I understand that INIS is examining the implications of the recent judgment in Luximon v. Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform. In the event that any additional information or clarification is required from the person then INIS will write to them to advise them as to what other information may be required. However, in the mean-time, it can be taken that the person's application will not be determined in accordance with the procedures which applied heretofore.
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 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 Parliamentary Question 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.
