I have been informed by the Immigration Division of my Department that the person referred to by the Deputy was informed in writing on the 13th November 2008 that permission to remain in the State in respect of him and his wife was extended until the 2nd May 2010. Prior to the expiry of this permission it is open to the person concerned to write to the General Immigration Division of my Department and their case will be considered. I am also aware of the correspondence referred to by the Deputy and am informed that my officials are considering the issues raised. A reply is being prepared and will be issued shortly.
