I refer the Deputy to my previous answers to Parliamentary Question numbers 1203 of 30th January 2008 and 141 of 13th November 2008.

I am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) that the person referred to made a Family Reunification application with respect to his wife and children and a decision issued to him in July 2006. I am further informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service that a letter issued to the person referred to on the 24th August 2010. A response has not been received by INIS to date. It is proposed to issue a further letter to the person referred to by the Deputy in the coming week.

I should remind the Deputy that queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made direct to INIS by Email using the Oireachtas Mail facility which has been specifically established for this purpose. The service enables up-to-date information on such cases to be obtained without the need to seek this information through the more administratively expensive Parliamentary Questions process.
