I propose to take Questions Nos. 1124 and 1125 together.
I wish to inform the Deputy that the person concerned was granted permission to remain in the State in May of 2001 under the arrangements then in place for the non-EEA parents of Irish citizen children. I am informed that this permission is currently valid until 12 December 2010 and may be renewed at her local Immigration Office 2 weeks in advance of that date.
I should remind the Deputy that queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to INIS by Email using the Oireachtas Mail facility which has been specifically established for this purpose. The service enables up-to-date information on such cases to be obtained without the need to seek this information through the more administratively expensive Parliamentary Questions process.
