I refer the Deputy to my replies to his previous Parliamentary Questions in this matter.
I wish to inform the Deputy that the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) did not seek further information and were not in contact with the person referred to. They sought further information from the Deputy's Office in April 2009 as they could not find any application for residence in the State from the person concerned.
I have also been informed by the INIS that the person referred to was issued with an intention to deport letter on the 21 October 2009.
The position 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). All representations submitted will be considered before the file is passed to me for decision. Once a decision has been made, this decision and the consequences of the decision will be conveyed in writing to the person concerned.
