Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 June 2014
554. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the position regarding citizenship in respect of persons (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [25416/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that valid applications for a certificate of naturalisation have been received from the person referred to by the Deputy, on behalf of her minor children.
The applications are currently being processed and will be submitted to me for decision as expeditiously as possible.
Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to 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 INIS is, in the Deputy’s view, inadequate or too long awaited.
