I am informed by the Immigration Division of my Department that an application for permission to remain was received from the person concerned in January 2007. He subsequently requested the withdrawal of his application by letters dated 28th June 2007, 3rd July 2007, 5th July 2007 and 11th September 2007.

The person in question returned to the State on the 12th September, 2007. A third party contacted the Garda National immigration Bureau on his behalf and was advised that an application for permission to remain must be lodged with the Immigration Division of my Department. To date there is no record of such an application being received. The person concerned must now lodge an application for permission to remain in the State to the General Immigration Division of my Department, 13-14 Burgh Quay, Dublin 2, together with supporting documentation.
