The person in question, and her son, arrived in the State on 12 July, 2002, and applied for asylum. Their application was refused following consideration of their 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, she was informed by letter dated 19 August, 2004, that the Minister proposed to make a deportation order in respect of her and her son. 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 an order is made; or consenting to the making of deportation orders.
Representations were received on behalf of the person in question. I expect the case to be submitted to me for decision in due course.
