I wish to inform the Deputy that the person concerned was granted permission to remain in the State under the revised arrangements for the non-EEA parents of children born in Ireland prior to 1 January, 2005, known as the IBC/05 Scheme. I am informed that this permission was renewed in 2007 and expired on 5 October 2010. However, I am further informed that when the person concerned presented for renewal at her local Immigration Office on 20 November 2010, her registration was not processed. A report on this matter will be forwarded by the Garda National Immigration Bureau to the Irish Born Child unit of the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service shortly and on receipt of same, the case file of the person will be considered and she will be contacted directly regarding her future status in the State.

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.
