I wish to advise the Deputy that the person in question was granted permission to remain in the State on 10 August 2005 for two years under the revised arrangements for non national parents of Irish children born prior to 1 January 2005 commonly referred to as the IBC/05 scheme.

Advertisements inviting applications for renewal of permission to remain granted under the IBC/05 scheme were placed in National Newspapers on 31 January, 2007. In the case of the person in question whose renewal does not fall due until August 2007 the application for renewal must be submitted one month in advance of the date on which the current permission to remain in the State expires. Applications will be processed in order of the date permission to remain expire. The person in question is already resident in this State and there is no record of an application for family reunification under the name supplied by the Deputy.
