Sheila Terry (Fine Gael)

When we were drafting this amendment we were thinking of it in the context of the parent dying prior to the birth of the child and many other reasons can be put forward to justify not providing for it here. I will withdraw the amendment and consider it again before Report Stage tomorrow but I remind the Minister that in the Immigration Act 2004 the term "a non-national who was born in Ireland" is used twice. Why did the Minister use that term when there is no such thing as a non-national who was born in Ireland? That will not be the case until this legislation is enacted.
