The person concerned was granted permission to remain in the State, on Stamp 4 conditions, until 5 October, 2010. The decision had regard for the fact that the person concerned was, at the time the decision was made in March, 2008, a dependant child of a non-EEA national parent of a born in Ireland before 1 January, 2005 whose mother was granted permission to remain in the State under the provisions of the IBC/05 Scheme.

The person concerned applied for the renewal of this permission in January, 2011. As this renewal application did not contain all the necessary supporting documentation, the person concerned was requested to send on the additional documentation required but this documentation has not yet being received. Upon receipt of the outstanding documentation, the case file of the person concerned will be further considered. Once a decision has been made on this renewal application, this decision and the consequences of the decision will be conveyed in writing to the person concerned.

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.
