Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 17 July 2014
596. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the current residency status eligibility for stamp 4naturalisation/permission to remain on humanitarian grounds in the case of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 2 [32594/14]
View answerThe person concerned arrived in the State on 5 December 2007, and applied for asylum. Following due consideration, his asylum application was refused, and he was notified of this refusal on 28 September 2009. The person concerned submitted an application for Subsidiary Protection pursuant to the European Communities (Eligibility for Protection) Regulations, 2006 S.I. No. 518 of 2006 ('The Regulations'), together with written representations against the making of a Deportation Order in his case, on 19 October 2009. The person concerned was notified on 11 April 2011 that his application for Subsidiary Protection had been refused. Further, the person concerned was notified on 9 June 2011 that a Deportation Order had been signed in respect of him on 25 May 2011. Judicial Review proceedings challenging these decisions were instituted on 6 July 2011 and are still ongoing. In the circumstances, 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.
