I wish to inform the Deputy that the person concerned is the sibling of an Irish born child of non-EEA parents that was born in the State prior to 1 January, 2005. The person concerned was granted permission to remain in the State in her own right on 15 February 2008 for an initial 12 month period. I am informed that this permission has been renewed and is currently valid until 11 February 2011. In light of her current circumstances, I would advise that the person concerned contact her local Immigration Officer for a further renewal of her permission.

I should remind the Deputy that queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly 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.
