On 21 February 2007, the person concerned presented at Carlow Garda Station for the purpose of fulfilling his obligations to register as a non EU national in compliance with the provisions of Section 9 of the Immigration Act, 2004.

The person concerned was not in possession of documentation required of him by the Immigration Officer to whom he presented. He was therefore granted a permission pursuant to Section 4 of Immigration Act 2004 to remain in the State for a further period of six months only. The registration fee is determined by the provisions of Immigration Act, 2004 (Registration Certificate Fee) Regulations, 2006.
