The person concerned has submitted an application for residence on the basis that he is the spouse of an EU citizen. This application was received on the 5th September, 2006.

An initial examination of the documentation submitted shows the person concerned was originally granted a c-visit visa and following his arrival in Ireland he was granted leave to enter. He was subsequently granted permission to remain up to the 31st October, 2002. I understand that a decision will be reached shortly on this application, and that the above factors will be taken into consideration in reaching a decision.
