I am informed that the non-EEA national in question failed to report to the Garda immigration authorities in June 2004 to renew his permission to remain in the State as required under the provisions of the Immigration Act. He subsequently came to the attention of the Garda National Immigration Bureau in January 2005 while attempting to unlawfully enter the State from the UK without a required Irish visa. I understand that an extension of his registration has been refused until such time as the person can satisfy the immigration authorities with regard to all the circumstances peculiar to his case including whether he is complying with the conditions of the residency granted to him.
