Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 December 2018
267. Deputy Sean Fleming asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if the appeal by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service will be reconsidered in view of the information that was submitted on 26 September 2018 in respect of the appeal in view of the fact the appeal was concluded without sight of the documentation submitted being considered in the case of a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [53004/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the application referred to was initially refused on 30 April 2018. While that decision was upheld on appeal, the applicant was permitted on an exceptional basis to appeal the decision again. She was advised to submit her appeal by 28 September 2018 but failed to do so.
It is open to the applicant to submit a fresh visa application at any time. However, she should bear in mind the original refusal reasons communicated to her and be in a position to address these in any new 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.
