I would refer the Deputy to my previous Dáil replies of 27 September 2006, 9 November 2006 and 31 January 2007 in respect of the person concerned.

The position is that the person referred to by the Deputy applied for permission to remain in the State on the basis of parentage of an Irish born child. This application was received by my Department on 28 February 2005 and refused on 7 December 2005.

The deportation order signed by me on 28 October 2003 was never served on the person concerned. My officials will write to him in the immediate future concerning his status in the State.
