I am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) that the person referred to by the Deputy holds a Stamp 3 residency permission until the 31st January, 2012. The person concerned has already submitted an application to extend this permission to remain for a further 12 months. I understand from INIS that this is being given favourable consideration and a decision will issue to the person closer to her renewal date in January.

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.
