Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 3 November 2015
542. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the procedure to be followed in having an application for asylum by a person (details supplied) in County Longford reviewed; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [37422/15]
View answerI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that a notification pursuant to the provisions of Section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended) was issued to the person concerned on 13th October, 2015. The case of the person concerned will now be decided by reference to the provisions of 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.
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.
