I have been informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that these persons arrived in the State in May 2007 and September 2007 respectively and were registered as students. Their permission to remain in the State as students expired on 3 November 2013.
On 13 November 2013, both persons made applications for an Extension of Student conditions. These applications are ongoing and will be considered in due course.
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 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 Parliamentary Question process. The Deputy may consider using the e-mail service except in cases where the response from INIS is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.
