Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 29 September 2010
1119 Deputy Phil Hogan asked the Minister for Justice and Law Reform when a decision will issue on a visa application in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Kilkenny; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [32944/10]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am informed that the Visa Office, Dublin can find no record of a current re-entry visa application for the person referred to. It is open to the person concerned to apply for a re-entry visa either by post or in person. Comprehensive information regarding re-entry visas is available on the website or the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (www.inis.gov.ie). Prior to making an application the person concerned should ensure that their permission to remain in the State is up to date.
I should remind the Deputy that queries in relation to the status of individual Immigration cases may be made direct to INIS by Email using the Oireachtas Mail facility which has been specifically established for this purpose. The service enables up-to-date information on such cases to be obtained without the need to seek this information through the more administratively expensive Parliamentary Questions process.
