Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 11 May 2017
49. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality if she will confirm receipt of the up to date relevant information by the appropriate sector in her Department in the case of a person (details suppled); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [22592/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that an application for residency for the person concerned was received and is currently under consideration. INIS will be writing to the person concerned shortly.
Might I remind the Deputy that queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to the 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 questions where the response from INIS is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.
