Amharc ar fhreagra520. Deputy Patrick Costello asked the Minister for Justice the number of persons with an open application for leave to remain on humanitarian grounds at the end of each of the years 2009 to 2019, inclusive; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [41761/20]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 519 and 520 together.
Unfortunately, the data sought by the Deputy is not recorded by the Immigration Service of my Department in the manner requested. It would require a manual search of all records for that time period which would divert resources away from processing and take an inordinate amount of time.
