I am informed by the Detective Chief Superintendent of the Garda National Immigration Bureau that the Irish Residence Permit (IRP) cards in respect of the persons concerned have been issued and delivered to their local Immigration Office. The Immigration Officer has made direct contact with the persons concerned to arrange for the collection of their cards.
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.
