Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 1 May 2024
190. Deputy Jennifer Whitmore asked the Minister for Justice the reason for the delay in issuing minor citizenship certificates; when the minor citizenship certification will be issued for a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [19681/24]
Amharc ar fhreagraI recognise that the delay in receiving a Naturalisation Certificate is frustrating for people and my Department is examining on how to speed up the delivery of Certificates for future Ceremonies to be held this year and for minor applicants.
I can advise the Deputy that a Certificate of Naturalisation issued to the person referred to on 27 April 2024 via registered post.
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 at: IMoireachtasmail@justice.ie, 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 Question process. The Deputy may consider using the e-mail service except in the cases where the response is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.
