Question 652: To ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the reason a person (details supplied) in Dublin 22 must renew their Garda National Immigration Bureau card every month; if this matter could be reviewed; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [33142/09]

The Deputy will be aware from my replies to PQs Nos. 31590/08, 42262/08 and my subsequent letter dated 29/9/08 that the person concerned is the subject of an investigation into immigration issues. Accordingly, he is required to renew his GNIB Card on a monthly basis for operational reasons. It is not intended to review this arrangement until the GNIB enquiries are completed and considered.

However, if this arrangement is causing difficulties, the person concerned should write to the Ministerial Decisions Unit of my Department at 13/14, Burgh Quay, Dublin 2 giving details of the difficulties being experienced and the matter will be given further consideration.
