Question 1187: To ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if he will review the decision to refuse permission to remain in the State on the basis of parentage of an Irish-born child in the case of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 24 having particular regard to the fact that their child was born on 1 January 2005 and not after 1 January 2005 thereby raising the question as to whether they should in fact qualify; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The person in question submitted an application for permission to remain in the State on the basis of being the non-national parent of an Irish-born child born prior to 1 January 2005, under the revised arrangements announced by me on 15 January 2005. The child in question was born on 1 January 2005 and therefore does not qualify to be considered for residency under the revised arrangements. Accordingly, the application for permission to remain was not considered.
