I am informed by the Immigration Division of my Department that a decision in relation to the application for residence in the State based on EU Treaty Rights issued to the person concerned on 26 April 2007. The application for residence in the State was refused under Regulation 3(2) of S.I. 656 of 2006 (Free Movement of Persons Regulations). This Regulation requires that in order to avail of residency rights under these Regulations, applicants must submit evidence showing lawful residence in another EU Member State prior to arrival in Ireland. The person in question did not meet the criteria for eligibility for residence in the State in accordance with the above Regulations.
