Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 1 February 2012
142 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the reason for the length of time taken to reach a decision in respect of residency in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Cork; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5739/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraI refer the Deputy to Parliamentary Question No. 498 of Tuesday 24 January 2012 and the written Reply to that Question.
The Deputy might wish to note that the case of the person concerned is amongst a large volume of such cases to be considered by my Department and will be processed to finality as soon as possible.
Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to the INIS by e-mail using the Oireachtas Mail facility 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 from the INIS is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.
