I am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned was granted permission to remain in the State, on a stamp 4 basis, on 11 October, 2011. This permission was subsequently renewed, with the latest permission granted up to 12 August 2016. An application for a renewal of permission to remain was received in the INIS on 18 July, 2016. The application is currently under consideration and the INIS will be in contact with the person concerned when a decision is reached on their case.
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 long awaited.
