Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 13 November 2008
176 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the position in relation to an application for residency in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Dublin; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [40553/08]
View answerA Deportation Order was made in respect of the person concerned on 15/9/2004. The person applied for permission to remain under the revised arrangements for the non-EEA parents of children born in Ireland prior to 1 January, 2005, known as the IBC/05 Scheme. This application was refused as the person in question did not meet the criteria of the scheme. She was informed of this decision by letter dated 29/4/2008 and was invited to make representations under section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999 relating to the Deportation Order which remains in force.
Representations in this regard have been received in my Department and are being considered by the relevant officials. The person concerned will be contacted directly and notified of any decisions made regarding her status in the State in due course.
