The person referred to by the Deputy currently holds a Stamp 1 immigration permission, without a requirement to obtain an employment permit. This has been extended until 31 May 2022, under the automatic extension of immigration permissions I announced on 17 December 2021. All permissions have been extended on the same terms and conditions as the permission already held.

The person concerned has also lodged a formal application for renewal of their Stamp 4 permission to remain. This application continues to be processed and a decision will issue in due course. 

Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to my Department by e-mail using the Oireachtas Mail facility at INISOireachtasMail@justice.ie, 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 Question process. The Deputy may consider using the e-mail service except in the cases where the response is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.
