The person concerned was refused permission to remain in the State under the revised arrangements for the non-EEA parents of children born in Ireland prior to 1st January 2005, known as the IBC/05 Scheme, as he did not meet the criteria of the scheme.

The person concerned was subsequently invited, by letter dated 9th May 2008, to make updated representations under Section 3 of the Immigration Act, 1999, as to why he should be permitted to remain in the State. Representations in this regard have been received in my Department and are being considered by the relevant officials. The person concerned, and his legal representatives, will be informed of any decisions made in due course.
