The person concerned was granted temporary permission to remain in the State for the period to 20th March, 2011. This decision was conveyed in writing to the person concerned by letter dated 20 March 2008. The person concerned was required to apply in writing one month before the end of the expiry period ie. 20 March 2011, for the renewal of this permission. My Department's records show no evidence of such a renewal application having been made and consequently the person is currently without permission to remain in the State. It is recommended that the person concerned should apply for renewal without further delay. I remind the Deputy that queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly 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.
