I am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that a visa application in respect of the person referred to by the Deputy was created on-line on 14 January, 2016. When the required supporting documentation is submitted by the applicant to the Visa Office in Dublin, the application will be processed and a decision issued.

The Deputy may wish to note that queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to the 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 the INIS is, in the Deputy’s view, inadequate or too long awaited.
