I would refer the Deputy to the Reply my predecessor gave to his Dáil Question No. 133 of Thursday 29 March 2007. The status of the person concerned remains as set out in that Reply.

The person concerned arrived in the State on 06 March, 2000 and applied for asylum. His application was refused following consideration of his case by the Asylum Division, Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform 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 30 November, 2001, 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. Representations have been received on behalf of the person concerned.

I expect the file to be submitted to me for decision in due course.
