I am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) that the person referred to by the Deputy made an application for family reunification in respect of her husband in April 2007. I am also informed by INIS that the issues surrounding the application are currently being examined and that they will be in contact with the legal representatives of the person concerned in due course.

I should remind the Deputy that queries in relation to the status of individual Immigration cases may also 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.
