The case of the person concerned has been finalised. His application for Subsidiary Protection was considered and a decision was taken to refuse that application. This position was notified to the person concerned by letter dated 13th May, 2011.
His case was then considered under Section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended) and, as an exceptional measure, the person concerned was granted leave to remain in the State for a one year period, to 30th May, 2012. This decision was conveyed in writing to the person concerned by letter dated 30th May, 2011.
I should remind the Deputy that queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to INIS by Email using the Oireachtas Mail facility which has been specifically established for this purpose. The service enables up-to-date information on such cases to be obtained without the need to seek this information through the more administratively expensive Parliamentary Questions process.
