I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that insufficient information was provided by the Deputy to enable them to identify the person referred to. The reference number provided by the Deputy relates to a different person. If the Deputy wishes to furnish further details, the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service will advise him of the position.
I should remind the Deputy that 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 specially established for this purpose. The service enables up-to-date information on such cases to be obtained without the need to seek this information through the more administratively expensive Parliamentary questions process.
