The person in question arrived in the State on 17 March, 2000 and applied for asylum. Her application was refused following consideration of her case by the Asylum Division of my Department and on appeal by the Refugee Appeals Tribunal. Subsequently, in accordance with Section 3 of the Immigration Act, 1999, as amended, the person concerned was informed on 21 May, 2004 that the Minister proposed to make a deportation order in her case. She was given the options, to be exercised within 15 working days, of making representations to the Minister setting out the reasons why she should be allowed to remain temporarily in the State; leaving the State before the deportation order is made or consenting to the making of a deportation order. Representations setting out the reasons why she should not be deported, were received by my Department and I expect the case file in this matter to be submitted to me shortly for decision.
