183 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality indicate if and when stamp 4 will be updated in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Meath; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4702/12]
View answerThe person concerned was granted temporary permission to remain in the State for the three year period to 20th March, 2011. This decision was conveyed in writing to the person concerned by letter dated 20th March, 2008.
The person concerned was required to apply in writing for the renewal of this permission one month before the expiry date. My Department's records show that such a renewal application was only received on 13th October 2011. This renewal application is under consideration at present. When a decision has been made on that application, the person concerned will be notified in writing of the decision and of the consequences of the decision.
Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to the INIS 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 the INIS is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.
