Amharc ar fhreagraThe position is that the person concerned arrived in the State on 26 March, 2004 and claimed asylum on 30 March 2004. His application and subsequent appeal was refused and he was notified of my decision to refuse him refugee status by letter of 16 November, 2004 in which he was informed of the three options open to him at that point, i.e., to leave the State before his case was considered for deportation; consent to the making of a deportation order in respect of him; make written representations, within 15 working days, to the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform setting out reasons as to why he should not be deported, i.e. why he should be allowed to remain temporarily in the State.
His case was examined under Section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999 and Section 5 of the Refugee Act 1996 (Prohibition of Refoulement), including consideration of all representations received on his behalf. On 11 May, 2005 a deportation order was made in respect of this person. The order was served on him by registered post requesting him to present himself to the Garda National Immigration Bureau on Thursday, 16 June, 2005. He is due to present again on 29 March, 2007 at Ennis Garda Station.
The enforcement of the deportation order is a matter for the Garda National Immigration Bureau.
