I refer the Deputy to my detailed Reply to his recent Parliamentary Question, No. 271 of Tuesday 10 March 2009, in this matter. The position in the State of the person concerned is as set out in that Reply. The Deputy might wish to note that the outstanding leave to remain application of the person concerned is among a large number of such applications my Department currently has on hands. Additionally, the Deputy should note that the processing of such applications is resource intensive and, as such, it is not possible to estimate when a decision will be made on this application. However, the Deputy can be assured that there will be no avoidable delay in having the case of the person concerned finalised.
