I have been advised by the Citizenship Division of the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) that insufficient information was provided by the Deputy to enable it to identify an application from the person referred to. The reference number provided by the Deputy relates to a different person. If the Deputy wishes to furnish further details, the Citizenship Division of my Department will advise him of the position. I remind the Deputy that queries in relation to the status of individual Immigration cases may be made direct to INIS by e-mail 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.
