As the Deputy will appreciate, it would not be appropriate for me to comment on an individual application under Council Regulation (EC) 4/2009. Such applications are facilitated by the Irish Central Authority for International Maintenance Recovery which is located in my Department. I understand that the individual involved in this matter has been in contact with the Irish Central Authority and that the Irish Authority is awaiting a response from the England and Wales Central Authority, who in turn are reliant on the UK Courts to act. I can assure the Deputy that the Central Authority continues to provide what assistance it can in this matter and will keep the applicant informed of developments in relation to her application.
