I am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person referred to by the Deputy entered the State on 21 July 2009 and registered on student conditions (Stamp 2) on 10 August 2009.  This period of permission to reside in the State expired on 31 December 2013.

I am further informed by INIS that the person concerned sought further permission to reside under Stamp 2 conditions in 2015.  This application was refused by INIS in 2016. No further request to remain in the State has been received in respect of the person concerned.

Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to the INIS of my Department 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.
