I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned was registered in the State under Stamp 2 conditions on 15 January 2007 until 06 June 2014. A decision letter issued to the person concerned on 24 July 2014 refusing an extension of their Student Stamp 2 conditions as the aggregate time permitted on Student conditions to study language, non-degree level and degree level courses is 7 years. The person concerned was advised that in their case the 7 year limit expired on 08 June 2014. In this regard the person concerned was advised to leave the State and submit documentary evidence to INIS of their departure by 23 August 2014. The person concerned currently holds no immigration permission to remain and is currently illegally residing in the State.
Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to the INIS of my Department 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.
