As outlined in my reply to Parliamentary Question No. 1135 put down for answer on 30th January 2008, the persons referred to by the Deputy were recently granted permission to remain in the State. The purpose of this permission is to enable an employer to lodge a work permit application on their behalf. It is open to the persons concerned to lodge an application for Citizenship if and when they are in a position to meet the statutory residency requirements applicable at that time.
