Question 481: To ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if a decision will be expedited in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Wicklow with regard to remaining in the State; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8859/05]

It is not the practice to comment in detail on individual asylum applications. Applications for refugee status in the State are determined by an independent process comprising the Office of the Refugee Applications Commissioner and the Refugee Appeals Tribunal which make recommendations to the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform on whether such status should be granted.

A final decision on this application will be made upon receipt of the decision of the Refugee Appeals Tribunal, which I expect to receive shortly.
