I propose to take Questions Nos. 669 and 670 together.

I have been informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department, that the married couple referred to by the Deputy are both students in the State and are both stamped in accordance with their current activity in the State. I have also been informed that INIS have not received any application for leave to remain in the State from the persons concerned. They should be advised to write to the General Immigration Division of INIS, which is located at 13-14 Burgh Quay, Dublin 2 providing full details and documentation of their future plans to stay in Ireland in order for the matters to be considered further.
