I wish to advise the Deputy that the person in question was granted permission to remain under the provisions of the European Communities (Free Movement of Persons) Regulations 2006 and 2008 for a period of 5 years on 9 May 2006. This permission expired on 25 September 2011. It is now open to the person in question to submit an application for a permanent residence card under the provisions of the aforementioned Regulations to the EU Treaty Rights Section of the Irish Naturalisation & Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department. Details on how to do so can be found on the INIS Website, 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 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.
