I propose to take Questions Nos. 531 and 537 together.

The Spouse of Irish National Unit of the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) informs me that correspondence was recently received from the person in question and it is expected that a decision will be reached shortly in relation to his application for residency in the State on the basis of his marriage to an Irish national.

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.
