The visa appeal referred to by the Deputy was submitted to the Irish Visa Office, Abu Dhabi on 29 December 2014. I have been advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service of my Department that the appeal is currently being examined by the Appeals Officer and a decision is expected shortly.

Queries in relation to general matters may be made directly to INIS by email 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 email service except in cases where the response from INIS is, in the Deputy's view inadequate or too long awaited.
