The person concerned sought to assert a right of residency in the State based on the principles set out in the European Court of Justice Judgment in the Zambrano case. Her case to remain in the State was considered in detail before a decision was taken that the terms of the Zambrano Judgment were not met in her particular case. This decision was notified to the person concerned by letter dated 17th January, 2012.

In light of the particular and unique circumstances of this case, I have instructed Department Officials to conduct an early review so that the position in the State of the person concerned is further considered from a humanitarian perspective. I expect matters to be finalised at an early date. I should add that this review will take place in the context of the provisions of the Immigration Acts.
