Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 8 April 2014
467. Deputy James Bannon asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if he will expedite an application for a de facto visa in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Longford; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16720/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the application referred to by the Deputy is almost processed to completion and that INIS will be in touch with this person very shortly.
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.
