Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 6 July 2006
565 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if he will review the decision to refuse an application by a person (details supplied) to have their Irish born child named on their travel documents; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [27671/06]
View answerThe person in question was granted refugee status in the State. His son was not included in his application for asylum and as such was not granted refugee status. As the child does not have refugee status he cannot be included on the person in question's 1951 UN Convention travel document.
It is open to the person in question to make an application for a travel document on behalf of his son. Such an application would be considered with due regard to the particular circumstances in this case.
