Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 17 September 2014
612. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the procedure to be followed in order to obtain permission for leave to remain in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Monaghan; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [33620/14]
View answerThe question of leave to remain in the State, on humanitarian or compassionate grounds, in the case of any person who fails to secure protection status, would be a matter to be considered under Section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999 at the appropriate time. Where a person is refused protection status the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service notifies the person in writing of this decision and they are afforded the opportunity to make representations in writing to the Minister setting out reasons as to why they should be allowed remain in the State.
