Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 January 2013
514. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the current and or expected position in relation to residency status in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Kildare; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2942/13]
View answerThe person concerned arrived in the State on 25 January 2004 and applied for asylum. The Refugee Applications Commissioner recommended that he not be declared a refugee. This decision was further upheld by the Refugee Appeals Tribunal. He was subsequently determined not eligible for subsidiary protection and, following consideration of his case under Section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999, as amended, a Deportation Order was made in respect of him which was notified to him on 12 September 2011.
The person concerned instituted Judicial Review proceedings on 22 September 2011 challenging the Deportation Order made in respect of him and accordingly, as the matter is sub judice, I do not propose to comment further.
I should remind the Deputy that queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to INIS by Email using the Oireachtas Mail facility which has been specifically established for this purpose. The service enables up-to-date information on such cases to be obtained without the need to seek this information through the more administratively expensive Parliamentary Questions process. I should also refer the Deputy to my previous reply of 23 October 2012.
