I would refer the Deputy to my Dáil Replies, No. 58 of 30 November, 2006, No. 99 of 09 November, 2006, and No. 693 of 21 March, 2006, in relation to this person.

First of all I would like to advise the Deputy that the person concerned has still failed to present herself to the Garda National Immigration Bureau, (GNIB), as requested and continues to be illegally present in the State. She should, without any further delay, present herself to the appropriate authorities, in this case either the GNIB or An Garda Síochána.

Secondly, as I informed the Deputy in my reply to his Parliamentary Question No. 693 of 21 March, 2006, the Office of the Refugee Appeals Tribunal upheld the appeal of the person concerned and she was informed of this by way of letter dated 21 February, 2006.
