I refer the Deputy to my previous reply to his question No. 165 of 24 March 2005 regarding the person in question. Despite being advised on a number of occasions by officials in the Immigration and Naturalisation Service of my Department to make an application for permission to remain in the State, the person concerned has not done so to date. The matter cannot be considered until such an application is made. Applications of this nature are dealt with in strict chronological order.
