I am advised by the Family Reunification Unit of the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that no application has been received from the person referred to by the Deputy. It is open to the person concerned to submit an application, in writing, to the Family Reunification Unit, INIS, Department of Justice and Equality, 13-14 Burgh Quay, Dublin 2.

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.
