On 9th February, 2005 the person in question applied for permission to remain in the State under the revised arrangements for non-EEA parents of children born in Ireland prior to 1st January , 2005, commonly referred to as the IBC/05 Scheme. The application was refused on 8th November, 2005 as the person in question did not meet the criteria of the scheme.

Judgements relating to the IBC/05 scheme were delivered by the Supreme Court on 20th December, 2007 and the implications of these judgements for individual cases are currently being assessed.

On 7th March, 2007 the individual concerned also submitted an application for Subsidiary Protection under the European Communities (Eligibility for Protection) Regulations 2006, S.I. No. 518 of 2006. This application will be considered in due course.
