Revised arrangements for the processing of applications for permission to remain in the State from non-national parents of Irish born children born before 1 January 2005 were announced by me on 15 January 2005. One of the specific conditions of the scheme was that persons granted residency on its basis had no entitlement to be joined in the State by other family members. The statutory declaration signed by applicants, including the person who is the subject of this question, stated their acceptance, inter alia, that the granting of permission to remain does not confer any entitlements or legitimate expectation on any other person, whether related or not, to enter the State. In these circumstances, the application for family reunification by the person concerned cannot be granted.
