An application from the person concerned under the IBC/05 Scheme, for permission to remain in the State on the basis of being the parent of a child born in Ireland prior to 1st January, 2005, was received in my Department on 13th January 2006. As the closing date for receipt of applications under the Scheme was 31st March 2005 the person's application was therefore received too late for consideration, and was returned along with all original supporting documents on 17th January 2006. My Department is currently awaiting the outcome of an appeal to the Supreme Court on matters related to the IBC/05 Scheme. I am unable to give further consideration to matters such as those raised by the Deputy until such time as a Judgement of the Court has been received.
