I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person mentioned by the Deputy made an application to INIS, in June 2016, for permission to remain in the State as the spouse of an Irish National.

I understand that this application is currently being processed and a request for documentation was issued to the person concerned in early June 2017. A decision will issue in a timely manner on receipt of the requested documentation.

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 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.
