I refer the Deputy to my reply to his previous Parliamentary Questions Nos. 700 of 3 November 2009 and 332 of 24 November 2009.

I am informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) that the person referred to by the Deputy made a Family Reunification application in December 2007. A decision in this case issued to the applicant on 15th September 2009 and a copy of the consideration detailing the reasons for the decision was also provided. As I previously pointed out it is open to the applicant to submit any further documentation or new information in relation to her application and this will be taken into consideration. To date INIS has not received any new documentation or new information from the applicant.

I have been informed by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) that Section 6A as inserted by section 4 of the Irish Nationality and Citizenship Act 2004 provides that a person born in the island of Ireland shall not be entitled to be an Irish citizen unless a parent of that person has, during the period of 4 years immediately preceding the person's birth, been resident in the island of Ireland for a period of not less than 3 years or periods the aggregate of which is not less than 3 years. This section does not apply to certain persons including those born to parents one of whom is at the time of the persons birth an Irish citizen, British citizen or a person entitled to reside without restriction.
