I wish to inform the Deputy that the person in question was granted permission in July, 2008 to remain in the State until 27 February, 2011 by my Department. This permission was a renewal of permission previously granted to the person concerned under the IBC/05 scheme. However, I am informed that the person concerned has not registered with her local Immigration Officer, which is a requirement of the permission granted.

I am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) that the person in question made a Family Reunification application for his wife, three children and mother in July 2008.

The application was forwarded to the Refugee Applications Commissioner for investigation as required under Section 18 of the Refugee Act 1996. The investigation has been completed and the Commissioner has forwarded a report to INIS.

The report will be considered by INIS and a decision on the application will issue in due course.
