I am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) that an application was received in the Department from the person referred to by the Deputy. However, the person concerned subsequently attended the Immigration Office on the 1 June 2011 and requested and was granted a Stamp 2 permission for six months as a timed out student. Full details of this scheme can be found on the INIS website at www.inis.gov.ie.

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.
