The person concerned arrived in the State on 3 October 1998 and claimed asylum. His application was refused by the Office of the Refugee Applications Commissioner and he was notified of this recommendation by letter of 8 March 2001. His subsequent appeal was refused by the Office of the Refugee Appeals Tribunal and he was notified of this recommendation by letter of 12 October 2001. He was notified of my decision to refuse him refugee status by letter of 13 November 2001 in which he was informed of the three options open to him at that point, namely, to leave the State before the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform made a deportation order in respect of him, to consent to the making of a deportation order in respect of him, or to make written representations, within 15 working days, to the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, setting out why he should not be deported that is, why he should be allowed to remain temporarily in the State.
His case was examined under section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999 and section 5 of the Refugee Act 1996 (Prohibition of Refoulement) including consideration of all representations received on his behalf. A deportation order was made in respect of him on 19 November 2004. The order was served by registered post and he presented himself to the Garda national immigration bureau on Thursday 20 January 2005. He is due to present himself again to the bureau on Wednesday 23 February, 2005, when it is expected that travel arrangements will have been put in place. The enforcement of the deportation order is a matter for the Garda national immigration bureau.
