I am pleased to inform the Deputy that the person in question was granted long term residency in June 2007. He was granted permission to remain for a 5 year period with an exemption from work permit requirements.

Enquires carried out with the Garda National Immigration Bureau indicate that the person concerned attended at his local Immigration Office on 2nd July 2007 and was granted permission to remain in line with his current passport. Following the renewal of his passport it is open to him to return to his local Immigration Office to have the remaining period endorsed on his passport.
