Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 September 2015
658. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the current and-or expected residency status in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Meath; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [31834/15]
View answerThe person concerned arrived in the State on 17 March 2008, and applied for asylum on the following day. She also gave birth to a child in the State on 14 June 2008, whom she also claimed asylum for. Both asylum applications were ultimately refused. On 23 August 2010, the person concerned was invited to make an application for Subsidiary Protection, as well as make representations as to why a Deportation Order should not be made.
The person concerned made subsequent applications for Subsidiary Protection for herself and on behalf of her child. Both applications were refused on 17 January 2011. Further, the person concerned made representations against proposed Deportation Orders for herself and her child. Following consideration of these representations, Deportation Orders were signed in respect of herself and her child on 26 January 2011.
The person concerned instituted Judicial Review proceedings on 10 February 2011 challenging the refusal of her and her child's respective Subsidiary Protection applications as well as the Deportation Orders made in respect of her and her child. Accordingly, 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.
