473. Deputy Michael Colreavy asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the position regarding asylum status in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Sligo; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [42982/12]
View answerApplications for refugee status in the State are determined by an independent process comprising the Office of the Refugee Applications Commissioner and the Refugee Appeals Tribunal which make recommendations to the Minister on whether such status should be granted.
If an application for asylum has been made by the person concerned, the Deputy may be aware that it is not the practice to comment on applications that are pending.
