I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that INIS has been in touch with the persons mentioned and a letter issued to one of these persons on 18 April 2016 granting an immigration permission.

I understand that INIS is still considering the application made by the other party and will be in touch with them shortly.

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 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 Question 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.
