Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 9 June 2015
591. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if she will confirm the current residency status of a person (details supplied) in County Dublin; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [22435/15]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the subsidiary protection application made by the person concerned was refused on 8th May, 2015.
Following that refusal decision, and in response to a notification pursuant to the provisions of Section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended), the person concerned has submitted written representations. These representations, together with all other information and documentation on file, will be fully considered, under 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, in advance of a final decision being made.
In relation to the cases of the family of the person concerned, I am advised that their applications for renewal of permission to remain are currently under consideration and decisions will be conveyed in writing to the persons concerned as soon as possible.
Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to the INIS of my Department by e-mail using the Oireachtas Mail facility which has been specifically established for this purpose. This service enables up to date information on such cases to be obtained without the need to seek information by way of the Parliamentary Questions process. The Deputy may consider using the e-mail service except in cases where the response from the INIS is, in the Deputy’s view, inadequate or too long awaited.
