I have been informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned arrived in the State on 10 August 2000. They were in possession of a Work Permit (Stamp 1) almost continuously until 31 December 2010. The person concerned did not register again until 6 September 2015 when they were issued permission under the Reactivation of Work Permit Scheme. They were issued with a new work permit and are currently in permission, on a Stamp 1, until 29 November 2016.

If the person concerned wishes to apply for Long Term Residence, they should make an application to Unit 3 - Residence Division, INIS, Department of Justice and Equality, 13-14 Burgh Quay, Dublin 2, and their application will be considered by that section.

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 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 Parliamentary Question 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.
