I have been informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person in question was registered in the State as a student from 1 October 2002 to 31 October 2009. I understand that they remained in the State without permission until an application was received from them in May 2012 seeking to regularise their illegal status in the State. To date this person does not appear to have made further contact with INIS and has not informed them of a change of address. This person should be advised to contact the Residence Division, INIS regarding their current immigration status.

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.
