I refer the Deputy to my detailed reply to his earlier Parliamentary Question, No. 197 of Tuesday, 28 February 2013 - copied beneath. The position is unchanged since then:
The person concerned was granted leave to remain in the State, on Stamp 4 conditions, for the two year period ending 17 May, 2013. This decision was conveyed in writing to the person concerned by letter dated 18th May, 2011. The person concerned is required to apply in writing for the renewal of this permission one month in advance of its expiry date. As a result, any such renewal application should be made in mid-April, 2013. It will be open to the person concerned to apply to the Citizenship Section of my Department for a Certificate of Naturalisation when he is in a position to meet the lawful residency criteria applicable to the lodgement of such applications. Details on the criteria to be met by persons lodging such applications are available from my Department's Website (www.justice.ie).Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to the 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 the INIS is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.
