The applicant in question applied for permission to remain in the State on the basis of having an Irish-born child prior to 1 January 2005, in accordance with the revised arrangements announced by me on 15 January 2005. One of the conditions of these revised arrangements is that the parent must have been continuously resident in the State since the birth of the Irish-born child and that documentary evidence of same is submitted with the application. Initially the applicant did not supply satisfactory evidence of continuous residence in the State since the birth of her Irish-born child and accordingly she was refused permission to remain in the State in October 2005. Additional correspondence has since been received from the applicant and her case is being reviewed in light of this new correspondence. Following this review, officials of my Department will contact the applicant.
