I am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service that the persons referred to by the Deputy arrived in the State, with their three children, on 17 July 2010 and have remained here since. They were granted temporary permission to remain by their local immigration officer. Their current permission to remain is valid until 15 September 2012. Their request for permission to remain in the State on a long-term basis will be considered when their current permission to remain comes up for renewal.

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. This service enables up to date information on such cases to be obtained without the need to seek information by way of the Parliamentary Questions process. The Deputy may consider using the e-mail service except in cases where the response from INIS is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.
