The person in question arrived in the State and claimed asylum on 26 November 2002. Her application and subsequent appeal was refused and she was notified my decision to refuse refugee status to her in a letter of 29 April 2004, in which she was informed of the three options open to her at that point — to leave the State before her case was considered for deportation; to consent to the making of a deportation order in respect of her; or to make written representations within 15 working days to the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform setting out reasons she should not be deported, that is, why she should be allowed to remain temporarily in the State.
Her case was examined under section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999 and section 5 of the Refugee Act 1996, which relates to the prohibition of refoulement, including consideration of all representations received on her behalf. A deportation order was made in respect of the person on 25 January 2005. The order was served on her by registered post and she was asked to present herself to the Garda national immigration bureau on Thursday, 3 March 2005. She is due to present again on 8 March 2005. The enforcement of the deportation order is a matter for the Garda national immigration bureau.
