Paragraph (b) covers a situation where the Minister becomes aware that the applicant is missing. This may come about because the Reception and Integration Agency notes an absence from assigned accommodation or the Garda Síochána may indicate that an applicant has not been observing a requirement to report once a week to a member of the force under section 9(5) of the Refugee Act or discover, in the normal course of events, that an applicant is no longer at the address supplied. In any such case, once the Minister passes this information to the commissioner, he or she will write asking the applicant whether they are still pursuing their application. In the event of no reply to this "one last chance" being received, the application is deemed withdrawn.
