From the information provided by the Deputy, it is being assumed that the person concerned is seeking to establish as to whether the recent European Court of Justice Judgment in the Zambrano case might impact on her case.
The position is that any person who wishes to have their position in the State examined in accordance with the principles of the Zambrano Judgement must submit the following documentation to the INIS Repatriation Division, Department of Justice and Equality, 13-14 Burgh Quay, Dublin 2.
(a) A colour copy of the bio-data page of the Irish citizen child's passport,

(e) Documentary evidence that the Irish citizen child is living in the State,
(f) Proof of the applicant's address and residence in Ireland (e.g. current utility bills etc.),

In addition, an applicant must provide answers to the following questions:
