317. Deputy Mairéad Farrell asked the Minister for Justice the reason for the delay with an application by a person (details supplied) for a change of name licence through the domestic residence and permissions unit; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [4750/24]
View answerThe application for a Change of Name Licence from the person referred to by the Deputy continues to be processed.
The Domestic Residence and Permissions Division of my Department are currently awaiting an interdepartmental report that is required for all Change of Name Licence applications. Upon receipt of this interdepartmental report, the Division will be in further contact with the person concerned.
Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to my Department by email 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 email service except in cases where the response is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.
