I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) that the application to which the Deputy refers is at an advanced stage of processing.

Necessary information from an outside agency, of which the family is aware, is awaited by INIS in order to make a decision.

Once this information is received a decision will be made without delay.

Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be directed 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.
