The person in question made an application for permission to remain in the State under the revised arrangements announced by me on 15 January 2005 for the processing of applications from the non-national parents of Irish born children born before 1 January 2005. As stated in my announcement, the closing date for the submission of applications for consideration under the revised arrangements was 31 March 2005. Mr. Nwanko's application was received on 06 May 2005 and therefore, too late for consideration. He was informed on 24 August 2005 that his application for leave to remain could not be considered under the revised arrangements. Judicial Review proceedings were instituted on 28 September 2005 and accordingly, as the matter is sub judice I do not propose to comment further on the matter.
