Amharc ar fhreagraThe Immigration Service of my Department is actively considering the immigration case of the person concerned. I understand that there has been an ongoing exchange of correspondence between the relevant personnel of the Immigration Service of my Department and the person concerned in recent weeks in relation to the submission of additional information, documentation and clarifications required to enable the case to be finalised. In that context, a further letter issued to the person concerned on 1 October 2020, seeking clarification on documentation recently submitted. Upon receipt of the requested clarifications, the case can be finalised soon thereafter.
Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to 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 is, in the Deputy’s view, inadequate or too long awaited.
