Amharc ar fhreagraAn application from the person concerned for extension of her permission to remain is currently being processed in conjunction with an application from her parent, on whom her residence depends, for renewal under the IBC05 scheme. I am pleased to advise the Deputy that the permissions sought will issue shortly.
152 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if he will offer temporary residency or stamp four status to enable participation in employment in the case of persons (details supplied) in Dublin 24; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23301/07]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe persons in question submitted applications on 1st March, 2005 for permission to remain in the State under the revised arrangements for parents of Irish children born prior to 1st January, 2005, commonly referred to as the IBC/05 scheme. As the Irish child in this case was born after this cut-off point, both applications were considered ineligible and were refused accordingly.
153 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the progress in the family reunification case of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 22; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23303/07]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am informed by the Immigration Division of my Department that the person in question made a Family Reunification application in January 2006. Further documentation was requested in February 2007 and was received in July 2007.
In the course of processing the application, questions arose in relation to the authenticity of certain documents submitted. This issue is currently being investigated. This application is under consideration and a decision will issue in due course.
