The International Protection Office of my Department is responsible for processing applications for international protection under the International Protection Act 2015. It also considers, as part of a single procedure process, whether applicants should be given permission to remain.
For reasons of confidentiality I am unable to comment on any individual immigration or international protection cases.
If the persons referred to by the Deputy have made applications for international protection in the State, they should contact the International Protection Office directly either by email to info@ipo.gov.ie, by telephone to the IPO Customer Service Centre at 01 6028008 or in writing to Customer Service Centre, International Protection Office, 79-83 Lower Mount Street, Dublin 2.
