The person in question was granted permission to remain in the State on 7 December 2005 for a period of two years, under the revised arrangements for parents of Irish children born prior to 1 January 2005, commonly referred to as the IBC/05 scheme. This permission allowed the individual concerned to work in the State without the need for a work permit.

Regarding the adult family members of the person in question, they are advised to submit representations to my Department under Section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999 for consideration of humanitarian leave to remain.
