I propose to take Questions Nos. 352, 353 and 434 together.

As previously advised, written representations have been submitted on behalf of the persons concerned in response to a notification pursuant to the provisions of Section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended).

These representations, 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 final decisions being made.

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

I can inform the Deputy that the first named person referred to applied for a right of residency in the State, based on their parentage of an Irish born minor citizen child, on 1 November 2019.

This application is one of a sizeable number of such applications on hand, however, the person referred to can be assured there will be no avoidable delay in having their case brought to finality.

The Deputy will appreciate that, in the interest of fairness to all applicants, applications are dealt with in chronological order.

It is not possible to identify the second named person based on the information provided.
