I have been informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) that the person referred to by the Deputy arrived in the State in June 2006 and was granted permission to remain on student conditions. He has subsequently been granted permission to remain in the State for a four month period to enable a prospective employer to apply for a work permit on his behalf and his solicitor was advised of this by letter dated 26 May 2011.

I should remind the Deputy that queries in relation to the status of individual Immigration cases may be made direct to INIS by e-mail 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.
