Written answers

The person concerned made an application for permission to remain in the State as the spouse of an Irish national in December 2019. In order to be fair to all applicants, applications are dealt with in chronological order. The Immigration Service of my Department endeavours to process applications as quickly as possible. However, processing times may vary due to a number of factors, such as the number of applications on hands, individual circumstances, the complexity of applications, whether further information is required, and the resources available.

The Immigration Service will contact the applicant in due course and, once a decision is made, this will be communicated to the person directly.

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 is, in the Deputy’s view, inadequate or too long awaited.
