Applicant has not satisfied the qualifying criteria, as per 18.1 of the Policy Document on Family Reunification' where, The issue of elderly dependent parents has arisen in a number of cases involving both Irish and non-EEA national sponsors. This form of migration can, however, be hugely problematic and is subject to considerable restriction in many jurisdictions, in some cases with extreme waiting times. It is of course entirely understandable that an Irish citizen or a non-EEA national lawfully resident in the State would wish to have his or her elderly parent residing with them so as to ensure their wellbeing as they get older and for the general enrichment of family life. However, it must also be acknowledged that the potential financial liability for the State of providing medical treatment, perhaps nursing home care and other services to an elderly person who is unable to support themselves is very considerable.

Applicant has not satisfied the qualifying criteria, as per 18.2 of the Policy Document on Family Reunification' where, The Irish State is simply not in a position to take on financial responsibilities of this nature, nor should it be expected to do so. Moreover, even where the family in Ireland is willing to assume the initial responsibility of providing for their relative and has a good faith intention to continue to do so, circumstances can change. If the family becomes unable or unwilling to assume the costs of maintenance, then the State could be faced with an invidious choice between assuming the financial burden from the public purse or seeking to deport an elderly person who cannot provide for him/herself. This is not to say that there should be an absolute bar on all such applications but rather that a highly restrictive approach should be taken. Ultimately emigration, including that by Irish people, is undertaken with no legitimate expectation of ever being joined by parents.

Applicant does not meet the qualifying criteria, as per 18.3 of the Policy Document on Family Reunification', where, the applicant has not demonstrated that there is no viable alternative to coming to Ireland.

Finances shown have been deemed insufficient. As per 18.4 of the Policy Document on Family Reunification, a sponsor's income after tax and deductions must be not less than €60K in the case of one parent.

Applicant has not satisfied the qualifying criteria, as per 18.5 of the Policy Document on Family Reunification', where elderly dependent relatives must be covered by private medical cover. No evidence of same provided.
