341. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if she will review an entitlement to residency for a person (details supplied) in County Cork given the health and other circumstances of the person and with a view to re-examining the extent to which the person was tortured in the person's homeland; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [46060/15]
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(1) of the Refugee Act, 1996 (as amended) which provides for the protection of the identity of protection applicants. Protection legislation also provides for the right of appeal at both the asylum and subsidiary protection stages of the process.
