I have been informed that the person to whom the Deputy refers presented at the Garda National Immigration Bureau on 15 March, 2010, at which time his permission to remain in the State, initially granted in October of 2000 under the arrangements then in place for the non EEA parents of Irish citizen children, was extended until 17 June, 2013.

I should add that permission to remain in the State only becomes operative when it has been registered with the Garda National Immigration Bureau. The onus is on individual applicants to ensure that they present for renewals and extension of their permission to remain in the State in good time in order to ensure the continuity of endorsements in their passports.
