Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 23 June 2005
191 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the current and expected residency status in the case of a person, details supplied, in County Kildare; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21786/05]
View answerThere are two aspects of this case under consideration at present. The first is an application under section 18 of the Refugee Act 1996 by the person's son, who is a recognised refugee, to have her remain with him in the State by way of family reunification. That issue is under consideration by the Refugee Applications Commissioner at present, as required by law. The second is an application she made for humanitarian leave to remain in the State. That issue will fall for consideration in the event of the first application being unsuccessful.
