I refer the Deputy to my reply to Parliamentary Question 164 on 1 July 2010. The position remains as stated.

I should remind the Deputy that queries in relation to the status of individual Immigration cases may be made direct to INIS by Email using the Oireachtas Mail facility which has been specifically established for this purpose. The service enables up-to-date information on such cases to be obtained without the need to seek this information through the more administratively expensive Parliamentary Questions process.

I have been informed by my officials in the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) that the person referred to by the Deputy is resident in the State as a dependant of her husband, who was granted a Stamp 4 as he qualified for Long Term Residency. This status is granted on the basis that a non-EEA national has completed five years legal residency in the State on work permits. It should be noted that dependants of applicants who have been granted Long term Residency can also apply for Long Term Residency but will only be granted a Stamp 3 (Dependants Stamp) for 5 years. They do not have an entitlement to a Stamp 4 immigration status.
