I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation & Immigration Service that the individual in question applied for long-term residency on 23 July, 2010. The application for long-term residency was approved on 7 March 2012. The individual in question was granted Stamp 4 permission to reside in the State for a five year period.

This permission was registered with the Garda National Immigration Bureau (GNIB) on 21 March 2012 until the 24 May 2014, which was the expiry date of his passport. On the 20 May 2014, the individual in question presented to GNIB with a new passport and their passport was endorsed with the remainder of their permission. The individual currently has permission to reside in the State until 7 March 2017.

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.
