I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned is part of a family unit who have all consented to deportation. The precise arrangements are being made for the various family members, including the person concerned, and these are expected to be finalised in the near future.

I am also advised that an adult member of that family unit has recently been before the Irish courts, having been charged with offences pursuant to the Criminal Justice (Theft and Fraud Offences) Act 2001. The person concern was convicted on all charges and has received a suspended sentence and a financial penalty.

The person concerned was granted permission to remain in the State for a period of five years on 12th January, 2010 on the basis of being the spouse of an EU citizen, who was residing in the State and was exercising their EU Treaty Rights.

The grounds under which the person concerned was granted permission to remain in the State no longer apply, as the EU spouse is no longer residing in this State. As a result, the permission to remain which was granted under the provisions of Directive 2004/38/EC and European Communities (Free Movement of Persons) Regulations 2006 and 2008 has been revoked. The person concerned was notified of this decision by letter dated 6th October, 2011.

In March, 2014, the person concerned sought a right of residency in the State, accompanied by a right to work, based on their parentage of an Irish born minor citizen child, and based also on the principles set out in the Zambrano Judgment. This application is under consideration at present. Once a decision has been made in this application, this decision, and the consequences of the decision, will be conveyed in writing to the person concerned.
