I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the applications for residency, in respect of the persons mentioned by the Deputy, are currently under consideration and that INIS will be writing out to the persons concerned very shortly.

Might I remind the Deputy that queries in relation to the status of 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 may 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.
