I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that this person's request for immigration permission is currently under consideration and INIS will be writing to the person concerned very shortly.

Might I remind the Deputy, that queries in relation to individual cases may be made directly to INIS by e-mail using the Oireachtas Mail facility which has been 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 Parliamentary Question 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.
