I wish to inform the Deputy that the person to whom he refers was granted permission to remain in the State, in 2000, under the arrangements then in place for the non-EEA parents of Irish citizen children. I am informed that the permission granted is currently valid until 13 September 2010.

Officials in the Citizenship Division of my Department inform me that there is no record of an application for a certificate of naturalisation from the person referred to in the Deputy's Question.

The person concerned was granted permission to remain in the State in February 2002, under the arrangements then in place for the non-EEA parents of Irish citizen children. The most recent permission to remain in the State, granted to the person in question expired on 6 April, 2009. I am informed that the person concerned subsequently presented for registration at the Garda National Immigration Bureau, and was refused as he was not accompanied by his wife or Irish citizen child.
