350 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the position in the case of persons (details supplied) in Dublin 6 who have applied for permission to remain in the State on the basis of parentage of an Irish-born child; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23213/05]
Amharc ar fhreagraApplications for permission to remain in the State under the revised arrangements announced by me on 15 January 2005 for the processing of applications from the non-national parents of Irish-born children born before 1 January 2005 were received from the persons concerned on 11 February 2005.
Some 18,000 applications for permission to remain were received under the revised arrangements and more than 7,600 have been processed to date. Given the number of applications yet to be processed, it will be some weeks before the processing of the applications from the persons concerned will be completed.
