Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 11 June 2014
126. Deputy Eoghan Murphy asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if she will provide information on a person (details supplied) in Dublin 2 in the asylum process; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [24887/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am advised that the person concerned arrived in the State on 1 September 2005, and applied for asylum on the same date at the Office of the Refugee Applications Commissioner. This application was refused, and the person concerned was informed of this refusal by letter dated 31 May 2007.
The person concerned also made an application for Subsidiary Protection under the European Communities (Eligibility for Protection) Regulations, 2006 (Statutory Instrument No. 518 of 2006), together with representations against the making of a Deportation Order pursuant to Section 3 of the Immigration Act, 1999 (as amended), on 22 June 2007. His Subsidiary Protection application was refused by my Department on 10 December 2009. Further, a Deportation Order was signed in respect of the person concerned on 15 December 2009.
The person concerned instituted Judicial Review proceedings on 25 February 2010, challenging the decision not to grant him Subsidiary Protection, as well as the making of a Deportation Order in his case, and accordingly, as the matter is sub judice, I do not propose to comment further.
