The person concerned made an application for permission to remain in the State on the basis of her parentage of an Irish citizen child under the revised arrangements on 18 March 2005 and her application was acknowledged on the same day.

Applications are being dealt with as expeditiously as possible and, where possible, in order of receipt. Given the number of applications being processed, it will take several weeks before the processing of the application from the person concerned will be completed.
