Officials of the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department are seeking to resolve this issue and I will write to the Deputy shortly to update him on the matter.
The Deputy might note that queries in relation to individual immigration 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.
