I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that on 13 April 2016 the birth affidavit was posted to the person concerned to the address stated on her application. This was returned by An Post marked "gone away". However, a new application for a certificate of naturalisation has since been received from the person concerned and the birth affidavit has now re-issued to the address as stated on her current application.
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.
