Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 18 October 2018
155. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if all requested documentation including a GNIB card have been received in his Department to progress an application for a person (details supplied) which was sent by registered post; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [43019/18]
View answerI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person referred to by the Deputy is scheduled to attend the next citizenship ceremony which will take place on 26 November 2018 in The Killarney Convention Centre, Gleneagle Hotel, Killarney, Co. Kerry, at which she will make her statutory declaration of fidelity to the Irish nation and loyalty to the State and receive her certificate of naturalisation. Invitations are due to issue in the coming weeks. All relevant documentation has been received in this case.
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.
