569. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if he will set out the updated position in regard to examination and determination of residency/eligibility for naturalisation in the case of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 22. [18964/14]
View answerThe person concerned arrived in the State on 25 January 2004 and claimed asylum the following day. His application to the Office of the Refugee Appeals Commissioner was unsuccessful and the person concerned was notified of this decision on 26 May 2005. An appeal was submitted to the Refugee Appeal Tribunal. The Refugee Appeal Tribunal upheld the decision of the Commissioner and the decision that he was not declared a refugee was notified to the individual concerned on 12 November 2008. He applied for Subsidiary Protection on 4 February 2009 and made representations, pursuant to Section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999, to remain in the State on 17 September 2009. His application for Subsidiary Protection was refused on 10 August 2011. Following consideration under the Section 3 of the Immigration Act, 1999, on 10 August 2011 a Deportation Order was issued in respect of him requiring him to leave the State. On 22 September 2011, the applicant’s solicitors lodged judicial review proceedings in the High Court, challenging the Deportation Order. These Judicial Review proceedings are on going at present and as the matter is sub judice, we cannot comment further at this time.
