Question 175: To ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the current or expected position in relation to an application for family reunification in the case of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 6; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [39124/08]

The person concerned was granted temporary permission to remain in the State on 14 November 2006, following the consideration of his case under Section 3 of the Immigration Act, 1999 (as amended). This permission was subsequently renewed for one year to 18 November 2008 and the person concerned was informed of this decision by letter dated 19 November 2007. This position still obtains.

There are no records in my Department of the person concerned having submitted an application for family reunification. The Deputy might wish to note that the position in the State of the person concerned is not such as would confer any statutory entitlement under family reunification provisions.
