I refer the Deputy to my reply to Parliamentary Question No 528 of 12 January 2011, where I set out the position as regards the person in question. She was advised to write to INIS so that her application could be further examined. No correspondence was received until 21 September 2011 and the matter is currently under consideration. I should remind the Deputy that queries in relation to the status of individual Immigration cases may be made direct 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.

I have been informed by officials in the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) that the permission on Stamp 2 of the person in question expired on 30 September 2011. As this person intends to continue her studies she should now renew her permission with her local immigration officer as she would have done on her previous registrations.
