173. Deputy Michael Creed asked the Minister for Justice if she will issue a citizenship reference number to a person (details supplied). [26615/24]

The naturalisation application from the person referred to by the Deputy has been approved. The person concerned is a minor and their naturalisation certificate will be issued by registered post shortly.

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.
