I would refer the Deputy to my Reply to Dáil Question Number 701 of 25 April, 2006, in relation to the case of the person concerned, whereby you will note that he was transferred to the United Kingdom on 13 April, 2006.

I now understand that the person concerned re-entered the State illegally, that is to say without proper papers, on or around the 28 November, 2006. He was subsequently Refused Permission to Land by an Immigration Officer. I further understand that he is currently in detention in Cloverhill Prison whilst awaiting his removal from the State.

The person concerned has no legal entitlement to be in the State and as such has no Residency Status.
