The person concerned applied on 4th March, 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. This application was refused as the person did not meet the criteria of the scheme. Consideration is being given at present under Section 3 of the Immigration Act, 1999, as to whether the person concerned should be given temporary permission to remain in the State or returned to his country of origin.

This application is also being considered. The person concerned will be informed of any decisions made regarding his status in the State, in due course.
