I am advised by the Citizenship Division of the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) that the required certification fee and other requested documents have been received from the person referred to by the Deputy.

The person concerned has also confirmed his availability to attend a citizenship ceremony on 3 February 2012 at which I intend to grant him a Certificate of Naturalisation.

Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to INIS 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 INIS is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.
