View answerAs stated in my replies to Parliamentary Question No. 255 of 7 July, 2015 and to Questions No. 138 and 139 of 25 June, 2015 in the case of the persons whose details were supplied, and in accordance with Section 19 of the Refugee Act 1996 (as amended) which provides for the protection of the identity of asylum applicants, it is not the practice to comment on asylum or subsidiary protection applications until such time as they have fully completed the protection process.
