I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the application was received by the Visa Office in Dublin on the 23/03/2016. The application was refused on the 06/05/2016. A letter outlining the reasons for refusal will issue to the applicant in the coming days. It is, of course, open to the applicant to appeal the decision within 2 months of the date of the letter.

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 his 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.
