The person to whom the Deputy refers was granted permission to remain in the State on 13 December 2005 for a period of two years under the IBC/05 Scheme.

Citizens of Romania who were granted permission to remain under the IBC/05 Scheme, such as the person in question, are not required to apply for renewal of that permission. Such persons may continue to work without the need for a work permit and set up a business without seeking the permission of the Minister. Officials in the Citizenship section of my Department have informed me that there is no record of an application for a certificate of naturalisation from the person mentioned.
