Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 7 March 2012
194 Deputy Joanna Tuffy asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if there is a procedure that allows submissions to be made by third parties in respect of applications in respect of persons for immigration status (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13149/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraSubmissions by third parties in respect of immigration applications under consideration by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) can be made in writing to the appropriate section of INIS, details of which are on the INIS website —www.inis.gov.ie. All submissions made are given due consideration in the overall consideration of an application, subject to the requirements of data protection, fair procedure and due process.
Where an individual has information that is relevant to a particular case, INIS encourages that such information be provided to inform the decision making process. Members of the Oireachtas who wish to make such a submission can do so using the Oireachtas Members email facility which provides a dedicated service to Members seeking up to date information on the status of individual applications or who wish to submit representations or information in respect of an application.
