I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the position remains as stated in my reply to Parliamentary Question No. 91 of 15 December 2016. As outlined then, it is open to the applicants to make fresh visa applications at any time. It would be advisable to address the original refusal issues and provide any additional information they consider relevant to their application.

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 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 e-mail service except in cases where the response from INIS is, in the Deputy’s view, inadequate or too long awaited .
