I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that correspondence issued to the person mentioned by the Deputy on 15 March 2017 advising them of their options regarding the extension of their permission to remain in the State. The person concerned arrived in the State on 1 November 2014 and was registered under student conditions until 5 December 2016. It is open to them to renew their student permission or to apply for a work permit if it is their intention to take up full time employment.

If they have secured a work permit they can submit an application to INIS for temporary permission to facilitate the processing of a permit. The Deputy will be aware that the issuing of Work Permits is a matter for the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation.
