I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of my Department that this application is currently receiving attention and correspondence will issue to this person in the coming days.

Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to INIS by email 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 email service except in cases where the response from INIS is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.

I am advised by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service of my Department that the person referred by the Deputy arrived in the State on 9 January, 2006, on which date he also applied for asylum. This application ultimately was refused, and he was so informed on 6 March, 2009. Subsequently, this person made an application for Subsidiary Protection under the European Communities (Eligibility for Protection) Regulations, 2006 (Statutory Instrument No. 518 of 2006) on 30 March, 2009. The aforementioned application was refused, and he was notified of this refusal on 24 February, 2012.

This person also made representations against the making of a deportation order pursuant to Section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999 (as amended) on 30 March, 2009. An examination of this person's file was carried out, taking into account the aforementioned representations, and it was recommended on foot of this examination that a deportation order be signed in respect of him. A Deportation Order was signed in respect of this person on 9 March, 2012. The applicant instituted Judicial Review proceedings on 28 March, 2012, challenging the refusal of his asylum claim, the refusal of his Subsidiary Protection application and the Deportation Order signed in respect of him, and accordingly, as the matter is sub judice,I do not propose to comment further.

I should remind the Deputy that queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to INIS by Email using the Oireachtas Mail facility which has been specifically established for this purpose. The service enables up-to-date information on such cases to be obtained without the need to seek this information through the more administratively expensive Parliamentary Questions process.
