As previously notified in my response to you in Parliamentary Question 2597/17 on 24 January 2017, the person concerned had permission to remain in the State under the Irish Third Level Graduate Scheme up until 30 August 2016.

I have been informed that they subsequently made a separate application, in 2016, for permission to remain in the State. This application does not fall under the Irish Third Level Graduate Scheme. I understand that the application is under consideration and the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) will be in contact in due course.

The Deputy may wish to note that 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.
