Answer
Minister for Justice and Equality (Deputy Frances Fitzgerald): I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that there is no record of an application for a right of residency in the State, accompanied by the right to work, based on parentage of an Irish citizen child in respect of the person referred to by the Deputy.
I am also informed that INIS has recently developed a new application form for these type of applications and further information on the application process, including guidelines for completing the form, can be found on the INIS website www.inis.gov.ie.
