The adult persons concerned made an application for permission to remain in the State on the basis of their parentage of an Irish born child under the revised arrangements on 31 January 2005. Their applications were acknowledged on 8 March 2005. Applications are being dealt with as expeditiously as possible and, where possible, in order of receipt. A significant number of incomplete applications are held pending the submission of identity documents or of additional information. Given the number of applications being processed, it will take several weeks before the processing of the applications from the persons concerned will be completed.
