Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 13 November 2018
258. Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the reason an application for naturalisation by a person (details supplied) has not been expedited in view of the fact that the person's residency permit will expire in January 2019; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [46527/18]
View answerI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person referred to by the Deputy is due to be invited to attend the next citizenship ceremony which will take place on 26 November 2018 in The Killarney Convention Centre, Gleneagle Hotel, Killarney, Co. Kerry, and to receive her certificate of naturalisation there. That invitation is due to issue in the coming week.
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.
