I am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) that the person in question who was the subject of Parlimentary Questions number 428 on 2 October 2012 and number 178 on 20 September 2012 made an application to General Immigration division on 5 October, 2012. Applications are dealt with in chronological order and this division will be in touch with this person in due course.

Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases should 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.
