Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 13 April 2017
64. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality when family reunification will issue in the case of persons (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [19129/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that applications for residency for the above named persons have been received and are currently receiving attention. Decisions on their status should be made very shortly.
Might I remind the Deputy that queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to the INIS of my Department 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 the INIS is, in the Deputy’s view, inadequate or too long awaited.
