The person in question was granted permission to remain in the State on 1st February 2006 under the revised arrangements for parents of Irish children born prior to 1 January 2005, commonly referred to as the IBC/05 Scheme.

An application for renewal of this permission to remain in the State was acknowledged by my Department on 5th March 2007. A request for additional documentation issued to the person in question on 18th April 2007.

The renewal application will be considered further upon receipt of the requested documentation. In the interim the person in question is advised to contact the local office of the Garda National Immigration Bureau to seek short-term registration while the renewal application is pending and to inform the benefit authorities accordingly.
