The person in question made an application for permission to remain in the State on the basis of family dependency in October 2005. An initial request for documentation issued in February 2006 and although some documentation was received in June 2006, it is insufficient to finalise the application. A further request for documentation has issued and it is expected that on receipt of all the documentation requested, the case will be finalised within a short period of time.

The person concerned arrived in the State on 9 May, 2005 and applied for asylum. His application was refused following consideration of his case by the Office of the Refugee Applications Commissioner and, on appeal, by the Refugee Appeals Tribunal.

Subsequently, in accordance with Section 3 of the Immigration Act, 1999, as amended, he was informed by letter dated 12 June, 2006, that the Minister proposed to make a deportation order in respect of him. He was given the options, to be exercised within 15 working days, of making representations to the Minister setting out the reasons why he should be allowed to remain temporarily in the State; leaving the State before an order is made or consenting to the making of a deportation order.

This person's case file, including all representations submitted, will be considered under Section 3(6) of the Immigration Act, 1999, as amended, and Section 5 of the Refugee Act, 1996 (Prohibition of Refoulement). I expect the file to be passed to me for decision in due course.
