Minister announces details of revised arrangements for residency
Mr Michael McDowell TD, Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, today announced details of the revised arrangements for the processing of claims for permission to remain from the non-national parents of Irish born children who were born before 1 January 2005. The new application form to be used by applicants and an explanatory leaflet will be placed on the Department's website tonight.
Paper copies of the form and an explanatory leaflet will be available from 21 January 2005 at the Department's office at 13-14 Burgh Quay, Dublin 2 as well as at Garda District Headquarters stations outside the Dublin area. They will also be available at accommodation centres of the Reception and Integration Agency as well as from a range of non-governmental organisations. An information notice (copy attached) will be published in the national press tomorrow.
The application form requires applicants to provide personal details, immigration history, other identities used in the State and details of their Irish born children. The form also includes a statutory declaration to be signed by the applicant to the effect that, if granted permission to remain, the applicant will not engage in criminal activity and will make every effort to become economically viable, and accept that there is no entitlement to family reunification. The applicant is also required to provide, among other documents, an original passport or national identity card, original birth certificate for the Irish born child and two passport size photographs.
The Minister urges applicants to complete the application form carefully and to provide all the details and documentation requested. Incomplete application forms will result in delays. Each application will be considered on its merits and will be subject to a rigorous examination. Applications will in general be processed in the order in which they are received. Completed application forms must be returned by post to the Department by 31 March 2005.
The Minister said "Persons of good character who give honest and complete details of their residence in Ireland with their Irish born children and make the necessary statutory declaration can expect to be granted permission to remain within a matter of weeks". However he warned that persons who have not been normally resident in the State with their child should not expect to be granted residence. The Minister also pointed out that those granted permission to remain will not be allowed to bring family members from abroad to join them in Ireland.
Those who are granted permission to remain will be allowed to remain for an initial period of two years. During this period will be permitted to work or to engage in business in the State. They will be expected to make every effort to become economically viable during this period. The renewal of their permission, which may be for a further three years, will be subject to their being economically viable.
