Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 8 October 2015
129. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the residency status and, if applicable, eligibility for naturalisation of a person (details supplied) in County Cork; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35103/15]
View answerIf the person whose details were supplied has made an application for asylum or subsidiary protection in the State, the Deputy will be aware that it is not the practice to comment on such applications until they have fully completed the protection process. This is in accordance with Section 19 of the Refugee Act 1996 (as amended) which provides for the protection of the identity of asylum applicants.
The Deputy will be aware that protection applicants are issued with a temporary residence permission pending a final determination on their application.
The question of naturalisation does not arise at this time in the case of the person whose details were supplied.
