Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 20 May 2004
207 Mr. Gormley asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the latest situation with regard to the case of a person (details supplied) and if his attention has been drawn to the results of a psychological assessment which showed them to be vulnerable and traumatised. [15082/04]
View answerIt has been determined by the Refugee Applications Commissioner that the United Kingdom is the appropriate country pursuant to the provisions of the Council Regulation (EC) No. 343/2003, formerly the Dublin Convention, to process the asylum application of the person concerned as she previously claimed asylum there in early 2003. The UK has accepted responsibility for the case and a transfer order has been made in respect of the person concerned requiring her to leave the State and go to the UK. The UK authorities will be informed of any medical condition of the applicant when she is being returned there, so that they can make the necessary arrangements to provide appropriate medical attention on receiving her.
