An application for Family Reunification from the person referred to in the Deputy's question was received in October 2004.

As the person in question was informed by my Department on the 7 March 2006 the application for Family Reunification is under consideration. The person in question will be notified of the decision in due course.

With regard to the status of the spouse of the person in question, she was refused refugee status in July 2005.

I wish to advise the Deputy that once a non EU national parent of an Irish born child has already registered with the Garda National Immigration Bureau it is not the policy of my Department to re-issue the notification letter advising that they have been granted permission to remain in the State.

However a letter outlining the conditions and status of the permission to remain granted to the person in question can be issued on receipt of a written request to the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service.
