Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 19 June 2008
157 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the current or expected residency status or naturalisation in the case of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 15; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24193/08]
View answerThe person concerned was granted permission to remain in the State in 2002 under the procedures then in place for the non-EEA parents of children born in Ireland. The permission granted was for an initial period of twelve months. Under the terms of the procedures then in place, applicants, such as the person concerned, are not required to keep in contact with my Department unless there is a change in their circumstances. The renewal or extension of an applicant's permission to remain is a matter for the Garda National Immigration Bureau. I am informed that the most recent permission to remain granted to the person concerned is valid until 6th April, 2009.
