Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 11 July 2024
289. Deputy Michael Creed asked the Minister for Justice further to Parliamentary Question No. 467 of the 28 February 2023, the reason her Department has not yet made contact with the individual involved regarding the issuance of confirmation of non-citizenship to this person (details supplied); and if she will make arrangements for immediate issuance of this required confirmation. [30732/24]
View answerI can advise the Deputy that all persons who wish to receive a statement to the effect that they do not hold Irish citizenship are required to submit a questionnaire to my Department's Citizenship Division.
The Citizenship Division have advised me that the relevant questionnaire was issued to the person referred to by the Deputy in February 2024. However there is no record of it being completed and returned to my Department.
The Citizenship Division of my Department have re-issued the questionnaire to the person referred to on 10 July 2024 at the address provided previously.
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 at: IMoireachtasmail@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 Question process. The Deputy may consider using the e-mail service except in the cases where the response is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.
