Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 3 April 2014
163. Deputy Tom Fleming asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if he will examine a stamp 4 application in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15706/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person referred to by the Deputy was written to on 12 November 2013 in reply to his application. However, from the details given by the Deputy it would appear that this person has changed address in the meantime and failed to comply with his obligation to inform his local immigration officer or INIS of this change. He should be advised to contact INIS immediately in this regard.
Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to INIS by email 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 email service except in cases where the response from INIS is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.
