The person concerned was granted leave to remain in the State for a one year period, valid to 2nd July, 2010. This decision was conveyed in writing to the person concerned by letter dated 2nd July, 2009.

The person concerned is required to apply in writing for the renewal of this permission. As my Department's records show no evidence of such a renewal application having been made to date, it is recommended that the person concerned should do so without further delay.

You might wish to note that my Department has no record of the person concerned having submitted travel documents with his previous applications, nor are there any travel documents on his case file.

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.
