Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 28 February 2007
159 Mr. Wall asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the reason for the difference of interpretation or the reason for the decision to grant permission for only six months instead of his declared position of 12 months in view of the fact that the cost of such registration is €100 each time and that families can not afford this fee; if he will make a statement in regard to the position of a person (details supplied). [7874/07]
Amharc ar fhreagraOn 21 February 2007, the person concerned presented at Carlow Garda Station for the purpose of fulfilling his obligations to register as a non EU national in compliance with the provisions of Section 9 of the Immigration Act, 2004.
The person concerned was not in possession of documentation required of him by the Immigration Officer to whom he presented. He was therefore granted a permission pursuant to Section 4 of Immigration Act 2004 to remain in the State for a further period of six months only. The registration fee is determined by the provisions of Immigration Act, 2004 (Registration Certificate Fee) Regulations, 2006.
