Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 April 2023
1060. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice if documentation, including declaration and a police record, have been received in respect of the ongoing application for citizenship in the case of a person (details supplied), who sent in the required information approximately three months ago but received no acknowledgement; when the application will be finalised; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16095/23]
View answerThe Citizenship Division of my Department can confirm that the statutory declaration and police certificate in relation to the application for naturalisation referred to by the Deputy has been received.
The Division have also advised that if further documentation and/or clarification of any matter related to the application is required, they will contact the applicant directly.
The naturalisation application continues to be processed by my Department, with a view to establishing whether the applicant meets the statutory conditions for the granting of naturalisation. It will be submitted to me for decision in due course.
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 at: 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 Question process. The Deputy may consider using the e-mail service except in the cases where the response is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.
