I am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned has, to date, not made an application for residency based on being the dependent of an Irish citizen. If she wishes to make such application she may do so by writing to the Family Dependent Unit, Residence Division Unit 5, PO Box 12695, Dublin 2. The Family Dependent Unit will advise her of the requirements for same.

The Deputy may wish to note that queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases 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.
