Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 19 January 2010
594 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the position regarding an application for residency in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Dublin; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1450/10]
Amharc ar fhreagraI refer the Deputy to Parliamentary Question No. 664 of Tuesday, 6 October 2009, and the written Reply to that Question.
The up to date position is that the representations submitted by the person concerned as to why a Deportation Order should not be made in respect of him are currently being considered in my Department. This consideration will have regard for the provisions of Section 3(6) of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended) and Section 5 of the Refugee Act 1996 (as amended) on the prohibition of refoulement. Once this consideration has been completed, 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.
