Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 15 April 2015
400. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality further to Parliamentary Question No. 161 of 12 March 2015, if the person subject of the aforementioned question has been accorded the status of their residency within this jurisdiction, for the past eight years, during the period when judicial or other reviews have taken place; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [14800/15]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs stated in my reply to Parliamentary Question No.161 of 12 March 2015, protection applicants are issued with a temporary residence permission pending a final decision on their application.
If an applicant is determined to be eligible for refugee or subsidiary protection status they are then granted permission to remain in the State. The taking by an applicant of Judicial Review proceedings in relation to a negative decision made in respect of them during the protection determination process does not of itself have a bearing on their temporary residency status.
