I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned is a sibling of an Irish citizen child of non-EEA national parents, born in the State before 1st January, 2005, whose mother was granted temporary permission to remain in the State on 24th January, 2006 under the Revised Arrangements for the non-EEA national parents of children born in Ireland before 1st January, 2005, commonly known as the IBC/05 Scheme.
As a discretionary measure, the person concerned was granted permission to remain in the State on 11th April, 2008, in line with the permission granted to her mother. This permission has been renewed on a number occasions with the latest permission having expired on 31st January, 2015. It is open to the person concerned to apply to have her permission to remain further renewed. Any such application must be made in writing and should be addressed to the INIS, PO Box 10003, Dublin 1.
It is open to any individual to lodge an application for citizenship if and when they are in a position to meet the statutory requirements as prescribed in the Irish Nationality and Citizenship Act 1956, as amended.
