I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the visa appeal referred to by the Deputy was received in the Dublin Visa Office on 26 August 2014. The decision on the appeal has recently been notified to the applicant in question
As stated on the INIS website (www.inis.gov.ie) an appeal can take 4-6 weeks to be processed from the date of receipt in the relevant visa office.
Queries in relation to general immigration matters 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.
