Question:

342 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform when applications for visa renewals by a person (details supplied) in County Kildare will issue in view of the fact that they attended the local Garda station to renew same and was referred to the immigration section of the GNIB which referred them back to the station; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13340/04]

Written answers

Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform (Mr. McDowell)

I understand that the Garda recently contacted the person in question to clarify the documentation needed for registration of her eldest son. Upon production of this documentation the relevant permission to remain may be granted to her eldest son. The person concerned has also been informed that her younger son is not required to register as he is under 16 years of age.
