I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that it has written to the person in question, who will be aware that all necessary due diligence in this case awaits completion. Once that process has been completed, a further letter will issue.

The Deputy may wish to note that queries in relation to the status of individual cases may be made directly to the INIS of my Department 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 should 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.
