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

The applicant in question applied for permission to remain in Ireland, on the basis of being the parent of an Irish born child, born before 1 January 2005, in accordance with the revised arrangements announced by me on 15 January 2005. The application is under review and I will notify the Deputy as soon as the application has been processed to a conclusion.
