Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 7 July 2015
247. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the progress to date in the determination of an application for permission to remain subject to section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999 in the case of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 22; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [27271/15]
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 16th June, 2015.
The position in the State of the person concerned will now be decided by reference to the provisions of 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. All representations submitted will be considered before a final decision is made.
The Deputy might wish to note a representative of the INIS wrote to the person concerned on 29th June, 2015 requesting the submission of specific documentation. The position in the State of the person concerned can be further considered upon receipt of the requested documentation.
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.
