An application for permission to remain in the State based on marriage to an Irish national was received from the person concerned in November 2003. Applications of this type are dealt with in chronological order and currently take approximately 16 months to process. However I can advise the Deputy that a request for further information has recently issued to the person in question so that the case can be further processed.
