The application referred to by the Deputy has been received by my Department and continues to be processed at this time. All applications are processed in chronological order.

The time taken to issue a decision will largely depend on the quality of the application received and if further documentation is required. My Department will continue to engage with the applicant for any further information that may be required to assist with the processing of their application.

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 (inisoireachtasmail@justice.ie) 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.
