I am informed that the person concerned has permission to remain in the State on the basis of parentage of an Irish citizen child. This permission to remain is currently valid until 24 November 2013.

I am informed by the Immigration Services Section of my Department that the person in question is not a recognised refugee and is not entitled to be issued with Irish Travel documents. The person in question was advised in January and again in February 2009 to contact their own embassy in Ethiopia to arrange for their own national passport.
