I have been informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) that the person referred to made an application for Family Reunification on 15th September 2009 in respect of his wife. I understand that a letter has issued from the Family Reunification Section to the person in question requesting further documentation. The application of the person in question will be considered further on receipt of the requested documentation.

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.
