The Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) informs me that the original letter that issued on 31 August 2009 granting the person referred to in the Deputy's Question permission to remain in the State on the basis of her marriage to an Irish national displayed an incorrect date of birth.

I am informed by INIS that a letter issued to the person concerned on 28 September 2010 acknowledging this typographical error confirming her correct date of birth to be that which is displayed on her national passport originally submitted with her application.

The Garda National Immigration Bureau have been informed of the correct date of birth and the person in question should now attend at her local registration office for renewal of registration.

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.
