The statistics requested by the Deputy are that, to date, 4 persons have been granted Subsidiary Protection in the State. I do not propose to provide information regarding the nationalities of those persons as to do so may cause them to be identified. With regard to the decisions taken to grant Subsidiary Protection to date, I would remind the Deputy that applications for Subsidiary Protection are considered on their individual facts, merits and circumstances and in accordance with the criteria set out in the European Communities (Eligibility for Protection) Regulations, 2006. I have nothing further to add in this matter.
