Amharc ar fhreagraI am informed that as of the 31st May 2009, there were a total of 149,203 non-EEA nationals recorded on the Register of non-nationals maintained by An Garda Síochána. This includes 38,547 who were registered as students. I have also been informed that persons who have been granted refugee status are registered with Stamp 4 status as are many other non-nationals. As of the 31st May 2009 there were 62,381 non-nationals registered with Stamp 4. It is not possible to provide a breakdown of those with refugee status in this group.
