Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 February 2022
639. Deputy Colm Burke asked the Minister for Justice the progress to date in respect of a citizenship application by a person (details supplied) in which an additional requirement of Garda vetting is required; the impact this process has had on the application to date; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [9552/22]
View answerAs the Deputy will appreciate, the responsibility to ensure that the correct information required for eVetting is provided to the Garda National Vetting Bureau (GNVB) rests with the applicant.
Having to complete a second eVetting application will result in minimal delay with regard to the overall processing of the application for a certificate of naturalisation and the void eVetting application will have no negative impact on the the application.
The person concerned can track the progress of their eVetting application at National Vetting Bureau (garda.ie)
Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to my Department by e-mail using the Oireachtas Mail facility (inisoireachtasmail@justice.ie) 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.
