Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 28 February 2013
189. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the position regarding residency status and entitlement to naturalisation in the case of persons (details supplied) in County Carlow; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10909/13]
View answerI wish to inform the Deputy that the person concerned was granted permission to remain in the State on 3 December 2007. Her permission was subsequently renewed and she is currently registered with the Garda National Immigration Bureau up to 18 August 2013.
With regard to the Deputy's query concerning the entitlement to Irish citizenship of the daughter of the person concerned, I understand that the Department of Foreign Affairs are currently examining the residency record of the mother in the State with a view to establishing if her daughter is entitled to an Irish passport post the recent Supreme Court judgment in the Sulaimon case.
