The closing date for applications for permission to remain under the revised arrangements for the non-national parents of Irish-born children was 31 March 2005. Almost 18,000 applications have been received and by now all applicants should have received an acknowledgement. An applicant who has not received an acknowledgment should write to the Irish Born Child Unit, PO Box 10003, Dublin 2, giving the date and details of posting, and his departmental reference number — 69/number — if known.
