An application 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, was received from the person concerned on the 14th December, 2005. The closing date for the submission of applications was 31st March, 2005 and therefore the application in question was received too late for consideration under the revised arrangements. Judgments of the Supreme Court on matters related to the IBC/05 Scheme were delivered on 20th December, 2005. These judgments upheld my Department's position regarding late applications. The implications of these judgments for individual applications are currently being considered by officials within my Department and the person will be written to in this regard shortly.

Further to my reply to Parliamentary Question No. 604 of February, 2008, I wish to inform the Deputy that Judicial Review proceedings are ongoing in the case of the person to whom he refers. I am informed that the Judicial Review proceedings cannot be concluded until such time as judgments from the Supreme Court have been received in the three outstanding cases related to the IBC/05 Scheme which remain before the Court. The position as regards Judicial Review proceedings relating to the Scheme will be clarified when the remaining judgments are received.
