I wish to inform the Deputy that the person to whom he refers was granted permission to remain in the State under the revised arrangements for the non-EEA parents of children born in Ireland prior to 1 January, 2005, known as the IBC/05 Scheme. In his application form for that Scheme, and also renewal thereof in 2007, the person concerned stated that he was a citizen of Sierra Leone. Consequently he has been recorded as such by my Department.

I am further informed that the permission to remain in the State granted to the person in question is currently valid until 27 September, 2010. Registration of permission to remain is a matter for the Garda National Immigration Bureau. Consideration is currently being given to representations received from the legal representatives of the person concerned in respect of issues pertaining to his entitlement to dual nationality. The person in question will be contacted directly and informed of any decisions made in this regard in due course.
