I propose to take Questions Nos. 965 and 966 together.

I refer the Deputy to the replies to a number of Parliamentary Questions he previously asked on behalf of the person concerned.

The person in question was the subject of a Family Reunification application that was approved in March 2002. Correspondence issued to the Deputy in July 2007, and to the person concerned and his legal representative in November 2004, May 2006, June 2007, August 2007 and September 2008 advising him that his permission to remain in the State was being renewed. The person in question was also advised to report to the Garda National Immigration Bureau, 13/14 Burgh Quay, Dublin 2 to have the appropriate permission endorsed on his passport and to have a Certificate of Registration issued in respect of him.

Enquiries made by the Immigration Division of my Department in January 2008 indicated that the person concerned had contacted the Garda National Immigration Bureau and had renewed his permission to remain until the 26th July 2008. The onus is on the person concerned to ensure that his immigration registration is kept up to date.
