I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) that the person referred to by the Deputy is a dependant of a non-EEA national parent of a child born in Ireland before 1 January, 2005 who was granted permission to remain in the State under the provisions of the IBC/05 Scheme. I should add that permission to remain in the State on Stamp 4 conditions for a twelve month period has been granted to the person concerned in her own right. She was informed of this decision by letter dated 18 October, 2011.
I would remind the Deputy that queries in relation to 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. 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.
