The person concerned arrived in the State on 24 March 2004 and applied for asylum. His application was refused following consideration of his 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, he was informed, by letter dated 16 September 2005, 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 leaving the State voluntarily, of consenting to the making of a deportation order or of submitting written representations to the Minister setting out the reasons why he should be allowed to remain in the State. Representations were received on behalf of the person concerned and will be fully considered in advance of the file being passed to me for decision. My decision, when made, will be conveyed in writing to the person concerned by an Official of my Department.
