As previously advised to the Deputy in response to Parliamentary Question No. 659 of 6 September, 2019, written representations were submitted on behalf of the persons concerned in response to a notification issued by my Department pursuant to the provisions of Section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended).

I am informed that further documentation/information was requested from the applicants by letter dated 23 September 2019.  This has not been received to date and the applicants' legal representative was so advised by my Department on 16 October 2019. 

The representations made, together with all other information and documentation on file, will be fully considered, under Section 3 (6) of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended) and all other applicable legislation, in advance of a final decision being made.

Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to the Immigration Service 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 is, in the Deputy’s view, inadequate or too long awaited.
