Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 29 September 2010
960 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Law Reform when travel documents will issue to a person (details supplied) in County Dublin; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [32568/10]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Travel Document Unit of the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) informs me that the person referred to in the Deputy's question was refused a temporary Travel Document on the 29 March 2010 as she held a current national passport in respect of her own country. It is a matter for the person concerned to contact her own national authorities in order to renew her passport. I am informed that the DR Congo Embassy in London is the appropriate office to contact in relation to this and that this information was previously conveyed to the person in question by the Travel Document Unit. I shouldremind 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.
