Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 1 February 2005
274 Ms O’Sullivan asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform when an application for residency based on marriage to an Irish person will be decided in relation to a person (details supplied) in County Limerick; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2724/05]
View answerAn application for permission to remain in the State based on marriage to an Irish national was received from the person concerned in June 2004. Applications of this type are dealt with in chronological order and currently take approximately 16 months to process. I understand the person is question is the parent of an Irish-born child and therefore may also be entitled to claim residency under the recently announced revised arrangements for such persons.
