The person concerned was granted permission to remain in the State on 27 September, 2005 for a 2 year period, under the Revised Arrangements applicable to the non-EEA national parents of Irish born children born in the State before 1 January, 2005, more commonly known as the IBC/05 Scheme. This permission to remain was renewed in 2007 and again in 2010. A decision by INIS to grant the person concerned permission to remain in the State for a further 3 years was recently conveyed in writing to him on 14 November, 2011. He should now register with his local Garda Immigration Officer.
Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to the INIS by Email 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.
