The second named person was granted permission to remain in the State in 2002, under the arrangements then in place for the non-EEA parents of Irish citizen children. I am informed that the permission granted is currently valid until 12 March, 2009.
The first named person should apply in writing to my Department for permission to remain in the State, under Stamp 4 conditions, as the dependant of a family unit in which the parents have been granted permission to remain on the basis of their parentage of an Irish citizen child. This application should be addressed to my Department at INIS, PO Box 10003, Dublin 2. Any such application will be given due consideration and the person concerned will be notified of any decisions made.
