Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 6 April 2017
93. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality the position regarding residency in the case of persons (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [17331/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that my reply to PQ number 150 on 21 March 2017 also relating to the persons concerned remains unchanged. These applications are currently receiving attention and INIS will be in contact with the persons concerned very shortly.
Might I remind the Deputy that 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 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 Parliamentary Question 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.
