Mr. Brian Purcell:
There is a process where people can sometimes be granted leave to remain in certain circumstances. I can give the Deputy the figures for those. In 2012, leave to remain was granted in 564 cases. They would usually be granted for a period of three years but can be granted for a shorter period, where the Minister deems it appropriate. It would of course be subject to complying with the laws of the State.
