A valid application for a certificate of naturalisation was received from the person concerned in July 2008. My predecessor decided in his absolute discretion to refuse the application. The person concerned was informed of that decision in a letter that issued to her in March 2011. 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.
