I have been informed by the Immigration Division of my Department that the individual referred to by the Deputy entered the State on the 27th October 2001 and was granted permission to remain under work permit conditions until the 25th September 2002. He failed to renew his permission to remain after that date until the 23rd January 2008 when he again applied to his local immigration office for permission to remain. He was not granted an extension of his permission to remain by his local immigration office as he had been unlawfully present in the State since the 25th September 2002.

The Immigration Division of my Department will be in contact with the individual shortly outlining the options open to him.

I am pleased to inform the Deputy that the person in question was granted long term residency by letter dated 26th February 2008, addressed to his legal representative.

The person concerned should now attend at his local immigration office to have his passport endorsed with the appropriate permission to remain.
