Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 March 2017
136. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality if she will review a visa application for family reunification in the case of a person (details supplied); the correct procedure to be followed by the persons who wish to appeal the decision; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [13489/17]
View answerI refer the Deputy to my response to Parliamentary Question No. 42 of 2 March 2017. I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that no appeal has been submitted. Guidelines on the appeals procedure are available on the INIS website (www.inis.gov.ie).
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 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 INIS is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.
