The person in question applied for permission to remain in Ireland on the basis of having an Irish born child prior to 1 January 2005, in accordance with the revised arrangements announced by me on 15 January 2005. It is a requirement under the revised arrangements that each applicant is resident with the child on a continuous basis since the child's birth and that evidence of such residence be provided with each application. The person in question has not provided satisfactory evidence of being continuously resident in the State since her child was born in July 2004. On this basis, her application for permission to remain was refused.
