The persons in question submitted applications on 14 April, 2005 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 persons concerned are not in fact the parents of a qualifying child and their applications were refused accordingly.

The persons concerned subsequently made application for subsidiary protection under the European Communities (Eligibility for Protection) Regulations, 2006 (SI No 518 of 2006). These applications were refused on 8th February, 2008. The persons concerned have recently been invited to make further representations to my Department in accordance with Section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999.
