The Irish Naturalisation & Immigration Service (INIS) informs me that the person concerned recently sought the renewal of an Irish Travel Document. His application was returned in full as it was not accompanied with his expired Travel Document. The person concerned subsequently submitted a report of its loss/theft from An Garda Síochaná.

I understand that the application form was deemed incomplete at that stage again and was returned to the person concerned on 11 November 2011.

It remains open to the person concerned to resubmit his Travel Document application form with supporting documentation including the Garda Report to the Travel Document Unit of INIS.

Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to INIS by e-mail using the Oireachtas Mail facility which has been specifically established for this purpose. This service enables up to date information on such cases to be obtained without the need to seek information by way of the Parliamentary Questions process. The Deputy may consider using the e-mail service except in cases where the response from INIS is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.
