I have been informed by the Immigration Division of my Department that the person referred to by the Deputy currently has permission to remain in the State on stamp 3 conditions up until the 10th September 2009. Prior to the expiry of this permission it is open to the person concerned to apply to the General Immigration Division of my Department to have this permission renewed and the case will be examined.

In relation to the immigration policy inquiry, officials in my Department are currently considering the policy and arrangements which should apply to religious workers. The Deputy's correspondence have been passed to those officials and they will consider the issues raised.
