I wish to inform the Deputy that the mother of the person in question was granted permission to remain in the State in February of 2002 under the arrangements then in place for the non-EEA parents of Irish citizen children. I understand that this permission expired on 6 April, 2009 and has not been renewed since.

Persons under the age of 16 years who reside as part of a family unit in which the parents of that unit have permission to remain in the State automatically avail of the permission granted to their parents. On reaching the age of 16, such persons are required to apply to my Department to have that permission registered in their own right. The person to whom the Deputy refers is therefore advised to write to the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service at PO Box, 10003, Dublin 2 outlining her family circumstances. Her case will then be assessed by the relevant officials and she will be contacted directly and informed of any decision made regarding her status in the State and any conditions attaching to same.
