The persons in question were granted permission to remain in the State on 24th February, 2006 for a period of one year, under the revised arrangements for parents of Irish children born prior to 1st January, 2005, commonly referred to as the IBC/05 Scheme.

Applications for renewal of their permission to remain in the State were received by my Department in March 2007 and are currently under consideration. Decisions in respect of both applications will issue in the near future.
