The person concerned was granted permission to remain in the State, on Stamp 4 conditions, for a two year period, from 25 May, 2005 to 25 May, 2007, under the Revised Arrangements for the non-EEA national parents of children born in Ireland prior to 1 January, 2005, commonly known as the IBC/05 Scheme.

Subsequent to Romania's accession to the European Union (EU) on 1 January, 2007, there was no requirement for Romanian citizens who had been granted permission to remain in the State under the IBC/05 Scheme to apply to have this permission renewed in 2007. Instead, such persons, once they continued to reside in the State, were exempted from the Work Permit requirements applicable to Romanian nationals who had no right of residency in the State at the time of Romania's accession to the EU.

I have been advised that, to date, no citizenship application has been made by the person concerned.

I should remind the Deputy that queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to INIS by e-mail using the Oireachtas mail facility which has been specifically established for the purpose. The service enables up-to-date information on such cases to be obtained without the need to seek this information through the more administratively expensive parliamentary Questions process.

Subsequent to Romania's accession to the European Union (EU) on 1 January, 2007, there was no requirement for Romanian citizens who had been granted permission to remain in the State under the IBC/05 Scheme to apply to have this permission renewed in 2007. This position was notified to the person concerned and his wife by separate letters dated 19 February, 2007. These communications advised the person concerned and his wife that once they continued to reside in the State, they would be exempted from the Work Permit requirements applicable to Romanian nationals who had no right of residency in the State at the time of Romania's accession to the EU.

I have been advised that, to date, no citizenship application has been made by the person concerned or his wife.
