The person concerned, a Russian national, entered the State on 13 November 1996 and applied for asylum. Her application was refused and she was informed of this on 29 June 1998. She did not appeal this decision.
In accordance with section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999, she was informed on 2 September 1999 that it was proposed to make a deportation order in respect of her and was given the following options: to make written representations within 15 working days to the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform setting out reasons she should be allowed to remain in the State; to voluntarily leave the State; or to consent to deportation. Representations were received by the Department on her behalf.
The person concerned was granted temporary leave to remain in the State until 10 June 2003. The case file will be submitted to me for a decision shortly as to whether further permission to remain should be granted although it should be noted that no such application has been made by the person concerned.
