I propose to take Questions Nos. 187 and 188 together.
I wish to inform the Deputy that the person concerned was granted permission to remain in the State in April of 2009 on the basis of being a family dependent of non-EEA parents of a child born in Ireland prior to 1 January, 2005, who had been granted residency in the State under the IBC/05 Scheme. This permission was granted in line with that of his parents and expired on 2 November, 2010. For a renewal of this permission, in his own right, the person concerned should submit a letter requesting same to the Irish Born Child Unit, PO Box 10003, Dublin 1.
I should remind the Deputy that queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to INIS by Email using the Oireachtas Mail facility which has been specifically established for this purpose. The service enables up-to-date information on such cases to be obtained without the need to seek this information through the more administratively expensive Parliamentary Questions process.
