Following consideration of his case under Section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended), the person concerned was granted leave to remain in the State for an initial one year period, on 14 November 2006, and this was renewed on two subsequent occasions, most recently on 24 March 2009, with the consequence that his latest renewal of leave to remain expired on 23 March 2012. The renewal of his leave to remain is currently under consideration and a decision will be issued to the person concerned shortly.
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.
