I presume the Deputy is referring to applications for Subsidiary Protection made on foot of the European Union Council Directive 2004/83/EC of 29 April 2004 to which one of my predecessors gave effect in Irish Law on 10 October 2006 by way of Statutory Instrument No. 518 of 2006 — European Communities (Eligibility for Protection) Regulations, 2006.

The statistics requested by the Deputy are as set out in the table below.
