Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 1 May 2018
188. Deputy Niall Collins asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if an appeal for a visa by a person (details supplied) will be considered and granted; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [18767/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the decision to refuse the application referred to was upheld on appeal, and the applicant and sponsor were advised accordingly.
As only one appeal is permitted, no further review of the application can be undertaken. However, it is open to the applicant to submit a fresh visa application at any time. Any new application should address the refusal reasons communicated to them in the previous application.
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.
In addition, applicants may themselves e-mail queries directly to visamail@justice.ie.
