I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person mentioned by the Deputy does not have an application pending at the moment and should be advised to make such immediately providing details of her circumstances in the State and proof of her identity and nationality.

The Deputy may wish to note that 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 established specifically 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.
