The Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) informs me that the Travel Document Unit has not received an application from the person in question for an Irish Travel Document. I am advised that this child entered the State under the Family Reunification process using their own national passport to which an Irish visa was affixed and that a Travel Document will not issue as this passport is currently valid.

The Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) informs me that the person named by the Deputy was declared a refugee in 2003 and has since attained Irish citizenship. No travel document will issue as this person now has an entitlement to an Irish passport. The reference number quoted by the Deputy relates to a different person who is a daughter of the person named. I am advised that this child entered the State under the Family Reunification process using her own national passport to which an Irish visa was affixed. A recent application for a Travel Document was refused as this passport is currently valid.
