Written answers

I refer the Deputy to my reply to Parliamentary Question no. 510 of 23 October, 2012 which is set out:

"The permission to remain in the State of the person concerned expired on 8 September, 2012. As this person is now currently out of permission to remain in the State, he should attend the GNIB to register and to advise them of his misplaced GNIB card. "

Currently, the case file of the person concerned is being reviewed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service on foot of information received from the Garda National Immigration Bureau. I should add that I am informed that the person concerned has no recent employment history in the State over the past three years. Taking into account the circumstances outlined above, when a decision on the future status of the person concerned is made he will be written to directly informing him of the outcome.

Queries regarding the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to 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 INIS is, in the Deputy’s view, inadequate or too long awaited.
