Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform (Mr. McDowell)

I understand that the Garda recently contacted the person in question to clarify the documentation needed for registration of her eldest son. Upon production of this documentation the relevant permission to remain may be granted to her eldest son. The person concerned has also been informed that her younger son is not required to register as he is under 16 years of age.
