I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that the person concerned, by letter dated 17th June, 2015, was refused a declaration as a refugee. This communication also advised the person concerned of their entitlement to apply for subsidiary protection in accordance with the provisions of the European Union (Subsidiary Protection) Regulations 2013. Any such application must be lodged with the Offices of the Refugee Applications Commissioner, 79-83 Lr. Mount Street, Dublin 2, within a period of 15 working days.
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.
