Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 25 September 2014
139. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the position regarding the determination of entitlement in respect of residency in the case of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 2; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [36415/14]
View answerI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the position in the State of the person concerned is as set out in my Reply to the Deputy's earlier Question - PQ No. 603 of Wednesday, 17th September, 2014 - copied beneath.
I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the subsidiary protection application made by the person concerned was refused on 31st July, 2014.
Following that refusal decision, and in response to a notification pursuant to the provisions of Section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended), the person concerned has submitted written representations. These representations, together with all other information and documentation on file, will be fully considered, under Section 3(6) of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended) and Section 5 of the Refugee Act 1996 (as amended) on the prohibition of refoulement, in advance of a final decision being made.
Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to the INIS of my Department by e-mail using the Oireachtas Mail facility which has been specifically established for this purpose. This service enables up to date information on such cases to be obtained without the need to seek information by way of the Parliamentary Questions process. The Deputy may consider using the e-mail service except in cases where the response from the INIS is, in the Deputy’s view, inadequate or too long awaited.
