The Deputy will be aware of the history of this case from previous Dáil replies. The person concerned has been evading deportation since 31 October 2003.

Under Section 17(7) of the Refugee Act 1996 (as amended) a person can apply for Ministerial consent for re-admission to the asylum process where new information becomes available and which was not previously presented during the initial processing of an asylum application. Each application for Ministerial consent for re-admission to the asylum process is considered on its merits.
