Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 21 October 2004
178 Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the date of the last positive decision given by his Department granting residency here to a migrant parent on the basis of their parentage of an Irish child under the separate process for such residency applications that existed until 19 February 2003. [25905/04]
View answerIt is not possible to state exactly when the last positive decision issued to the parent of an Irish born child who applied for residency in the State solely on that basis prior to the cessation of the procedure on 19 February 2003. However, no further processing of any outstanding applications took place after 23 January 2003 following the decision of the Supreme Court in the case of L&O.
