I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) that the person concerned was granted permission to remain in the State on Stamp 4 conditions on 6th October, 2009. This decision had regard for the fact that the person concerned was, at the time the decision was made, a dependant child of a non-EEA national parent of a child born in Ireland before 1st January, 2005 who was granted permission to remain in the State in 2000 as the parent of an Irish born citizen child. The person concerned has current permission to remain in the State until 17th October, 2011. She has made an application for the renewal of this permission. This renewal application is under consideration at present. Once a decision has been made, this decision and the consequences of the decision will be conveyed in writing to the person concerned.

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 specially 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.
