View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 631 and 655 together.
I refer the Deputy to Parliamentary Question No. 162 of Thursday, 3 December 2009, and the written Reply to that Question.
As stated in my last Reply, the persons concerned, a mother and child, have submitted separate applications for Subsidiary Protection in the State which are under consideration at present. When consideration of these applications have been completed, the persons concerned will be notified in writing of the outcomes.
In the event that the applications for Subsidiary Protection are refused, the positions in the State of the persons concerned will then be decided by reference to the provisions of Section 3(6) of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended) and Section 5 of the Refugee Act 1996 (as amended) on the prohibition of refoulement. All representations submitted will be considered before the files are passed to me for decision. Once decisions have been made, these decisions and the consequences of the decisions will be conveyed in writing to the persons concerned.
