The person in question was originally granted permission to remain in the State on 9 January 2002 based on his parentage of an Irish born child. This permission has been renewed for the person concerned until 17 April 2008. The permission to remain in the State granted to the person mentioned is conditional on him continuing to actively discharge the role of parent to his Irish citizen child and the ongoing compliance with an informal maintenance agreement in place with the mother of the child.
