2134. Deputy Conor Sheehan asked the Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration the status of visa applications (details supplied); the steps his Department is taking to expedite these specific cases to ensure students arrive ahead of the September semester; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [54846/26]

I can advise the Deputy that based on the information supplied, it has unfortunately not been possible to locate the applications for the people referred to.

As an Oireachtas member, you can request the status of individual immigration cases 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.

If the Deputy can supply the below information to the Oireachtas Mail facility my officials will be happy to re-examine this request.

• First / given name of each applicant

• Family / surname of each applicant

• Date of birth of each applicant

• Application number for each application.
