An application for permission to remain in the State, under the revised arrangements for non-EEA parents of children born in Ireland prior to 1 January 2005, commonly referred to as the IBC/05 Scheme, was received from the person concerned on 6 May 2005. As the closing date for receipt of applications under the scheme was 31 March 2005, the application in question was received too late for consideration.

My Department is currently considering a number of judgements delivered by the Supreme Court relating to the IBC/05 Scheme. The implications for individual cases, and for the Judicial Review proceedings ongoing in this case, are currently being assessed.
