I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service that the person mentioned by the Deputy was first registered in the State as a student on 22 March 2007. Her permission to remain here expired on 26 March 2013.

The guidelines for non-EEA national students registered in the State are available on the INIS website at www.inis.gov.ie.

As the person concerned no longer has permission to be in the State and she has not shown that she is entitled to remain on any other basis, she should now make arrangements to leave the State.

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.

In the first instance and as the Deputy will be aware, any information regarding alleged criminal activity should be referred to An Garda Síochána for investigation. Where issues relating to a person's immigration status arise from an investigation carried out by the Gardaí, these are dealt with in accordance with the law, primarily section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999 in the case of non-EEA nationals and in the case of EU nationals Regulation 20 of the European Communities (Free Movement of Persons) Regulations 2006.
